What we do

We are ACT’s peak-body for contemporary music. We work with musicians, artists, venues and audiences to strengthen the local music industry. Our vision is for a thriving and valued music industry in the ACT.

What this means

  1. Canberra is a destination for contemporary music artists, industry workers and businesses.

  2. The Canberra region’s musicians emerge, create, collaborate and inspire. Their music is beautifully recorded, heard and promoted to local, national and international success.

  3. Canberra’s industry is cutting edge and our music venues promote incredible live performances to engaged audiences, who drive our night time and visitor economies.

We support the ACT music industry by:

  • providing access to professional development opportunities and resources

  • connecting ACT’s music creators and professionals with the wider Australian industry

  • driving policy change with government, business and community

  • fostering an equitable and inclusive music industry with accessible and supportive programs for diverse groups and audiences.
