What We Fund

The Trust’s priority is to focus on young people keen to learn and develop skills in particular areas of Music and the Visual Arts.

In Music, we provide grants for performance, composition, arranging, production and music business.

Under the Visual Arts, we provide grants for painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture, design, fashion, photography, film & video.
