Scops Arts Trust
Summary
The goal of Scops Arts Trust is to help people to understand, participate in and enjoy the arts, particularly the performing arts. They are keen to find projects which widen access and have a lasting cultural impact on the community. In 2024, the Trust will be concentrating solely on music projects.
Each round will focus on a different area within the performing arts:
- Round 1: Focus on music performances at regional arts festivals plus children’s music education
- Round 2: Focus on adult music education projects plus children’s music education
- Round 3: Focus on instrumental and choral music groups plus children’s music education
In addition to the above themes, applications for children’s music education projects will be considered at every round.
