Merseyside Arts Foundation: The Open Fund for Organisations
For:
Music Development Programme 2016
Merseyside Arts Foundation is an independent development organization supporting engagement in the arts and creative industries. Founded in July 2013, we are a new organization with a remit of identifying, nurturing and establishing Merseyside’s finest creative talent. From young people who exhibit significant talent and potential to more established artists demonstrating artistic excellence, we work with a variety of approaches which are always owned and driven by the artists involved.
In September 2013 we announced our flagship music development programme, which has since provided a series of development opportunities for 40 outstanding emerging bands and solo artists in Merseyside. Following the success of the programme to date our organisation has been awarded additional funding by PRS for Music 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 music scene. Further details of the programme, including the artists we support, are available via our website.
