Grants to Support the Music Industry (Greater Manchester)
Applications are open for Factory International’s Factory Sounds programme, which aims to support and raise the profile of musicians and the music industry in Greater Manchester.
Fifteen applicants will each receive:
- peer to peer support through regular meetings with your Factory Sounds cohort and specialist members of the Factory International team, who will help support your artistic development
- three mentorship sessions with an industry member
- £1000 to support your creative development
- tailored workshops and other creative opportunities
- access to a bespoke space for developing music
- the opportunity to perform in the Social as part of our public programme
This support is available to anyone involved in music - whether professional or amateur - including musicians, DJs, producers, promoters, label owners and managers.
Successful applicants could use the funding, for example, to create and record music, promote new releases, organise gigs or live events, or purchase new equipment.
Applications are particularly encouraged from people who are underrepresented in the sector.
The closing date for applications is the 20th January 2025.
