Arts Guild > Arts Guild Talented Young People Awards
Do you have a keen interest in the Arts ?
Are you between the ages of 12 and 24 ?
High on our list of priorities is a commitment to supporting and
encouraging the development of young people with a passion, ambition
and outstanding talent to pursue a future career in the arts. This
award aims to recognize and celebrate achievement as well as making
a financial contribution towards the cost of your professional
development and training.
If shortlisted for an award, you may be asked to attend and perform
at a presentation event, or to provide a sample of
your work. If successful we will ask you to keep us regularly
updated on your progress. Where possible, or appropriate, we will
also offer opportunities for you to perform at Arts Guild or other
related events.
What Can You Apply For?
You can apply for funding towards a specific element of
your development and training. This might be, for example, towards
the cost of buying a new instrument or art materials; private music
or dance lessons; competition fees or promoting and exhibiting your
work. In exceptional circumstances this may also include course fees
or travelling expenses, not linked to a college, university or other
professional training institution.
Are You Eligible?
To be considered for the award you must:
• Be aged 12 to 24 years
• Have lived in Stevenage for a substantial part of your life or
have received the major part of your secondary school education in
Stevenage
• Show excellence now, with an ambition to develop and work
professionally in your artistic field
