Dan Rosen, ARIA Chief Executive, said: “We are thrilled to be launching the 33rd Annual ARIA Awards Season by recognising the nominees for the 2019 Fine Arts and Artisan Awards. These incredible artists and technicians showcase a breadth of talent, and we are proud to celebrate their work and achievements this year.

I also would like to welcome the returning partners for their continual support of ARIA and Australian music. I look forward to working with them at this year’s ARIA Awards.”

Victoria Brown, Swarovski Australia’s Marketing Director, said: “2019 will mark the third year of our partnership with the ARIAs. We’ve seen great success year on year which is a testament to the synergy between the two brands. Swarovski’s rich history is steeped in innovative collaborations with global music and entertainment artists, as such, it’s fitting that we champion the thriving Australian music industry at the ARIAs.”

George Hughes, The Star Entertainment Group Chief Marketing Officer, said: “The Star Sydney is delighted to be continuing our partnership with the ARIA Awards and to be hosting this prestigious event for the seventh year running. This year promises to be even bigger and better with the recent unveiling of The Star Grand Hotel and Residences, new restaurants and bars, and the opening of the stunning Grand Foyer, which will provide the perfect entrance for guests on the night.“

Genelle Sharples, Media and Sponsorship Principal at Telstra said: “We are delighted to be partnering with the ARIA Awards again in 2019 to present this year’s Telstra ARIA Music Teacher Of The Year Award. It was so rewarding to help ARIA recognise all the wonderful Aussie music teachers who inspire our kids and ultimately award Scott Maxell from Mount Gambier Grant High School in South Australia the second year of ARIA Music Teacher Of The Year Award in 2018. We are thrilled to be part of the journey all over again and increasing our involvement for this year as presenting partner of this award.

Our continued partnership with the ARIAs and the Telstra ARIA Music Teacher Of The Year award is important to Telstra and we look forward to recognising more teachers from across the country who use their talents to inspire the next generation of Aussie musicians.”

George Ash, PPCA Board Chairman, said: “PPCA is excited to partner with ARIA on ARIA Week and the annual ARIA Awards for an eighth year. It is at the heart of PPCA to support career development in Australian music and we look forward to once again recognising and celebrating the best up and coming talent with the Breakthrough Artist Award at the 2019 ARIA Awards.”
