Industry Development Initiatives

Home > Funding > Organisations > Industry Development Initiatives

Industry development initiatives funding is flexible and will benefit a number of regions with, in many cases, additional investment from local councils and businesses. The IDIs focus on creative and business development and will open up the arts sector to new directions and opportunities.

Industry development initiatives enable Arts Queensland to respond to opportunities and emerging priorities outside the guidelines, timelines or eligibility of other AQ funding/ programs.

Successful initiatives will deliver outcomes in three key areas:

  • Creative Development
  • Market Development
  • Business Development

Over $1 million in funding has been announced to support targeted arts industry development initiatives (IDIs) for Queensland's small to medium arts companies in 2008.

How can companies or organisations access the IDIs?

A range of procurement and implementation strategies will be used to ensure transparency and the expected outcomes are achieved. These are:

  • Partnerships brokered or negotiated by Arts Queensland
  • Contracts or agreements between AQ and an external partner
  • Invitation to offer (open/select tender or expressions of interest)
