Music Network is calling on all musicians and performing groups who wish to apply for the Music Capital Scheme to apply now. Applications for Award Categories 1, 2 and 3 close on Thursday 27 November at 2pm.
This year a record, almost 2 million euro in funding is available for the scheme which is supported by the Department of Culture, Communications & Sport – a substantial 78% increase on previous years.
A total of a million euro is available through Awards 1, 2 and 3, which support non-professional performing groups and individual professional musicians in purchasing instruments and essential equipment.
Since 2008, the scheme has made 657 awards, providing access to instruments for over 59,000 people across Ireland.
Music Network is committed to equity and inclusion, and encourages people from all backgrounds and communities to apply.
