ArtHouse Jersey is encouraging artists to come forward and apply for their quarterly funding initiative, with the next deadline for their Development Grants being midnight on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
The arts charity provides financial assistance to local artists and artists linked to Jersey for creating new work or for the development of their creative process.
The guidelines and application form can be found on the Grants section of the ArtHouse Jersey website and the total amount available for 2024 is £55,000. Small Development Grants are for awards below £1,500 for which there is a shorter application process. Large Development Grants are for awards between £1,500 and £5,000.
In 2023 the funding committee awarded 30 Development Grants for a variety of interesting projects. ArtHouse Jersey has invested in local creatives working in the disciplines of visual arts, drama, film, music, literature and more. Among those in the final round of successful applications in 2023 was a short film, music video, novel and educational theatre piece.
Phoebe Over and Axon Bower (pictured) applied for a grant in 2023 to create a music video for their new single ‘Bus’. They are singer/songwriters who have both released two singles over the past two years. They are currently travelling Australia and the narrative of the music video will use the backdrop of their journey. The grant enabled them to bring their creative vision to life and share it with a wider audience.
