MICRO GRANTS FOR PROFESSIONAL FOLK ARTISTS
Thanks to further donations, in September 2021 we are delighted to award a second round of Micro Grants for Professional Folk Artists who live and work in England.
Six grants of £500 will be offered 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 training and development activities (including courses)

Applicants could be at any stage of their career but must be working as a professional artist in the folk arts (eg music, dance, storytelling). Applications were accepted from individuals and groups of artists. The maximum award to each successful application is £500, regardless of the number of artists involved in the application.
Grants must be used by 30 June 2022.
