Victoria - The Place To Be

International Connections

Victorian artists are increasingly in demand overseas, carving out a reputation for innovation, winning acclaim, and impressing audiences around the world with their high quality work and distinctive Australian voice.

Every time a Victorian artist tours internationally, it has a multiplier effect - not only generating direct opportunities for creative development, employment and income, but also strengthening professional networks, creating touring circuits and expanding audiences for other Australian artists.

The Victorian Government, through Arts Victoria, provides support for Victorian artists and arts companies to tour their work overseas and to participate in cultural exchange activities. Check out our international calendar to see what Victorian artists are doing across the globe, with our support.

If you are a Victorian artist looking for support to take your work to the world, visit the Funding Programs section to find out more about our International program.
