What is NP3?

NEWPRINT is a dynamic, future-focused program that brings locally curated, contemporary live music events to Victoria.

Led by six IBPOC and CALD identifying producers, the program aims to bridge the gap between the music industry and culturally diverse artists. You can learn more about NEWPRINT at our launch event on December 5th at Arts Centre Melbourne.

MAV will support these producers to see their events come to life with mentorship, connections and funding over 2025.
