Merseyside Arts Foundation: The Open Fund for Organisations

Music Development Programme 2022

Merseyside Arts Foundation is an independent development organisation supporting engagement in the arts and creative industries. From young people who exhibit outstanding talent and potential, to early career artists looking to take their first professional steps, to more established artists ready to make an international impact,they work with a variety of approaches to identify, nurture and establish Merseyside’s creative talent.

Since 2013 Merseyside Arts Foundation has been working with regional and national partners and funders to deliver a ground-breaking development programme for the Merseyside’s emerging early to mid-career bands and solo artists. Following the success of the programme to date our organisation has been awarded additional funding by PRS Foundation to deliver an advanced support offer for artists who have engaged in the programme and demonstrated clear potential to make a national impact on the UK and international music scene.
