What is this fund for?
This fund is the second round of the Grassroots Music Venues Stabilisation Fund and is intended to prevent music venues from closing permanently before end June 2021.
It is open to 2 groups:
- Those grassroots music venues that received funding in the first round (see Section A of the Guidance Document)
- Other grassroots music venues (i.e. those playing mainly original material and developing new talent), that did not receive funding in the first round (see Section B of the Guidance Document)
How much can you apply for?
We will accept applications for between £10k and £70k.
Who can apply?
Venues that received funding in the first round will be invited to apply again.
In addition Expressions of Interest are welcome from venues that did not apply previously and/or did not receive funding in the first round. Creative Scotland will review the expression of interest, and if approved you will be able to apply.
We are looking for applications from owners, operators or tenants of venues that:
- are indoor, permanent venues in Scotland whose main function is to present all-year round live grassroots music events for a public audience
- have a capacity of less than 600, however, we will consider applications from
- venues with capacities up to 1,000 on an exceptional basis if a significant grassroots focus can be demonstrated
