COVID-19 lockdown has cut many of the normal income streams and forced artists to create new and imaginative formats communicating their work. With change comes emerging markets, and the change happens in ways that we cant predict. Projects arising from creative ingenuity cost money and often require a vital piece of equipment such as a microphone, an audio interface, a laptop, professional support services or marketing and promotional materials.
The Trinity Laban Go DigiTL Microgrant is designed to support individuals with a one-off injection of cash to help. We will also offer successful applicants practical support through showcasing their work online and offering other relevant support/guidance as needed.

- To offer financial support to musicians and dance artists living in Lewisham or Greenwich;
