MICRO GRANTS FOR PROFESSIONAL FOLK ARTISTS

Micro Grants for 2022 are now open. Thanks to a donation from Conrad and Jennifer Bailey we are delighted to announce a third year of the Micro Grants Programme for Professional Folk Artists who live and work in England.

Six grants of £500 are being 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) 

This list is not exhaustive

Applicants could be at any stage of their career but must be working as a professional artist in the folk arts (eg music and/or dance). 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.
