Micro Grants for professional folk artists
Micro Grants for 2024 are now announced.
Thanks to generous donations from Conrad and Jennifer Bailey we are delighted to offer a fourth year of the Micro Grants Programme for Professional Folk Artists who live and work in England.
Six grants of £500 each will be awarded to folk artists to support anything that will help their professional career development.
This could be:
- Time to develop creative projects
- Support for the production of new albums
- Instrument purchase
- Technical equipment purchase (eg portable sound equipment)
- Other personal training and development activities (including courses)
This list is not exhaustive
We do not fund:
- Under graduate and post graduate university courses (or equivalent)
- The development or delivery of education projects/programmes
Applicants are at any stage of their career but must be working as a professional artist in the folk arts (eg music and/or dance). Applications can be from individuals or from groups of artists. The maximum award to each successful application is £500, regardless of the number of artists involved in the application.
For queries, please contact [email protected] or [email protected].
