The Music Hall’s Emerging Artist Grant
Submissions for this year’s emerging artist grant have closed.
Overview
The Music Hall is proud to announce a new grant program that will support young aspiring artists who need a kick-start to beginning their performance career. With proceeds from the Emerging Artist Benefit Concert, we are able to offer aid that is critical for aspiring musicians to fulfill their performance aspirations. By awarding two $2500 grants to musicians actively performing contemporary music, we can support the projects that will contribute to their professional development. This financial support can allow artists to secure live performance opportunities, recording/studio time, produce music video content, and develop marketing assets and/or strategies. In addition to the financial support, The Music Hall team will help make valuable connections with industry professionals for grant recipients.
Even more exciting, the two musicians selected will both be invited to open for Jason Mraz at this year’s Emerging Artist Benefit Concert!!!
