Is your work ready for that next stage? (pun intended)

Launchpad is a new initiative under Geelong Arts Centre’s Creative Engine program geared towards creating more pathways for artists to professional practice by bridging the gap between developing new work and having the platform to stage it.

These six grant packages will directly benefit individuals and organisations who are looking to develop new and exciting work, push the boundaries, and advance their contemporary arts practice.

Our grants and opportunities have supported a number of new works by local creatives since 2019.
