We have launched a second round of micro-commissions, following the success of our first round in early 2021. This fund is focussed on diversity, inclusion and relevance.
Our micro-commissions are open to creatives and cultural organisations who want to develop work with new groups of young people.
Micro-commissions offer a chance to expand your knowledge, skills, and to work with groups of young people you haven’t worked with before. We want our micro-commissions to reflect the diversity of our region and the young people we want to reach.
We encourage applications from creatives with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
We are interested in projects that create high-quality experiences for young people who face barriers to arts and culture.
Some examples of groups who may face barriers to creative opportunities can include:
This is a great opportunity to make a difference to young peoples’ lives and to develop your own practice.
The fund is £800, which will be paid in two installments. You will receive your first installment when the project begins. You will receive your final installment after you’ve completed a short survey about your experiences and outcomes.
The fund can be used to:
We encourage you to test your new ideas and gather feedback. We’ll do our best to help you connect with new groups and areas of work you’ve specified.
