Music Victoria has announced the lineup for its Victorian Artists Roundtable spanning 2024-25.
Twenty artists from across the state’s music scene will form the Victorian Artists Roundtable, a group assembled to steer sector priorities, influence advocacy efforts and strengthen Victoria’s contemporary music landscape. These members have already fed into Music Victoria’s issues papers, government submissions and strategic planning, playing a vital role in making sure the organisation can properly brief the Victorian government on major challenges facing artists, venues and the wider music ecosystem.
Created as a safe and inclusive forum where artists can speak openly, the roundtable collects firsthand insights that feed into Music Victoria’s advocacy work, funding strategies and program design. Members will also take a fresh look at the Music Victoria Awards, making sure they stay relevant, community-driven and worthwhile. This crew also boosts the quality and detail of intel Music Victoria passes on to government about urgent sector issues, covering everything from tour expenses and venue challenges to workforce shortages, red tape and audience trends.
