2009 INDENT PARTNERSHIP GRANTS ANNOUNCED

NSW Minister for the Youth, Graham West, today announced $110,000 in State Government grants to enable young people across NSW to stage all-ages, drug and alcohol-free music events.

The music events will be funded through Indent, a MusicNSW project which provides funding and resources for all-ages events run by young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years.

Indent, funded through ArtsNSW, has for the past nine years provided advice, workshops and resources for young people intent on staging all-ages entertainment while promoting safety, community support, sustainability and emerging talent.

Mr West said he supported drug and alcohol-free music events for all people in NSW, but particularly young people.

“It is important that young people have access to well-organised and entertaining events in their area, whether in the city or in rural and remote parts of NSW”.

“These events help those young people who organise them to forge a career in the NSW music industry”.

Mr West said that the 44 successful event teams demonstrated great ideas for youth-driven entertainment in their local communities, covering both regional and metropolitan NSW.

The 2009 Partnership Grants will fund more than 100 events taking place across the state, offering a platform for several hundred emerging bands and artists to perform to an expected attendance of around 30,000 young people.

With the view to developing skills and creating sustainable youth-driven music events,
Indent will also deliver workshops in event management and music business to participating young people throughout the year.

Indent would like to officially congratulate the successful applicants for the 2009 partnerships grants
