About this Event
Work in grassroots music, as a promoter, festival organiser, venue manager, or running a festival or recording/rehearsal studio? Need some financial support to do what you do, or change things up a bit? If your's is an emphatic "YES!!! " then welcome! This event is for you...
The lowdown
In this friendly and informal session, Hannah Deeble from Arts Council England (ACE) will talk you through everything you need to know about its £4m Grassroots Music Fund. Open for applications until March 2025, the Fund exists specifically to support grassroots music rehearsal and recording studios, promoters, festivals, and venues to apply for support for projects that help them to promote events and support talent development.
Here's what you can expect from this Made in Essex event:
- The lowdown: who can apply; what and how much you can apply for
- Top tips for making a strong application
- Case studies about previous applicants
- A chance to ask any specific questions you have
- Lots of time to share experiences with others in the grassroots music community
If that sounds just like what you need (even without the tea and biscuits we'll throw in too!), then we'd love it if you'd join us... Oh, and please do spread the word to any of your grassroots music friends who you think might also find the event useful.
About Made in Essex
Made In Essex brings together local cultural networks from across Essex to do two things. Firstly, to create and amplify a united and cohesive voice for the county’s creative and cultural sector, in order to influence and inform strategy, policy and investment decisions. Secondly, to increase collaboration, by making it easier for people in our sector to work in partnership and share information, resources, knowledge and best practice. (We do this because we are stronger together and because collaborating is more fun than working alone.)
Some thankyous!
We're hugely grateful to the lovely folk at Colchester Arts Centre for gifting us the venue, and to our event partners, Creative Colchester and Ignite Chalmsford, for helping spread the word.
