First Nations Fashion and Textiles Accelerator Fund
The First Nations Fashion and Textiles Accelerator Fund (the Fund) is a key program of the First Nations Fashion and Textiles Plan, and supports delivery of Grow 2022-2026, the Queensland Government’s second action plan for Creative Together 2020-2030.
The Fund seeks to support First Nations artists in Queensland to share their stories, celebrate their cultural identity and maximise the economic potential of their art by translating it into fashion and fabric. It helps artists focused on fashion and textiles, as well as those who include them in their broader work, with an emphasis on activities that grow commercial outcomes.
The Fund assists established First Nations fashion and textile artists and businesses that produce wearable art, ready-to-wear fashion collections or fabrics to increase production, enter new collaborations and expand into national and international markets.
