Our bursary programme is specifically for young people who face barriers to creative opportunities. Each year we offer two bursaries which include:

  • Financial support across nine months
  • A year membership with Music Broth including access to their instrument library
  • Equipment loans including a MacBook Pro for the duration of the programme

The bursary programme is devised in response to the interests and needs of each recipient. It also includes:

  • A residency opportunity supported by the CCA’s Creative Lab programme with technical support
  • Regular catch ups with the Music Space team to help shape the programme and reflect on progress
  • Monthly mentoring sessions with artists and musicians focusing on creative and professional development
  • Opportunity to take part in Counterflows festival

Bursary recipients are selected via nomination. We have chosen the method of nomination in order for this opportunity to reach a wider group of young people who may not apply through more traditional open call methods.
