A new program has been established in Casey to support the region’s talented pool of musicians and vibrant live music venues.
Live and Local program, in partnership with the Live Music Office and APRA AMCOS, will deliver a series of industry forums, professional development workshops, and micro-festival music events to support the growth of existing and emerging musicians and local performance spaces.
City of Casey’s chair of administrators Noelene Duff described the program as a new resource to support and spotlight Casey’s grassroots live music industry.
“Here in Casey, we are proud to boast a passionate and dedicated local music community who contributes significantly to our social and economic environment,” she said.
“The Live and Local program works to bring together our local music makers, venue operators, and business owners within the industry, and support them to grow their capacity and to showcase their potential in the music space.”
To tailor the program to a localised music community, council is calling on musicians and live music venues operating throughout Casey to register their details and take part in the program.
By entering the database, all registered contacts will have access to a range of workshops and professional development opportunities, networking and collaborative events, and grant information.
Registration for the database is completely free and can be accessed via a short form on the City of Casey website. To learn more about the program, visit casey.vic.gov.au/casey-live-local
