The BBC Performing Arts Fund has announced that it will offer two sets of grants
this year.

The fund makes a variety of grants throughout the year, based on three areas of 
the arts – music, dance and theatre. This year it will distribute up to £250,000
among grassroots community music groups, allowing them to reach new and wider audiences,“
and push themselves further with new projects or commissions”.

It will also award up to £200,000 to music organisations to host a BBC Performing
Arts Fund Fellow. This will allow up and coming talent – whether they are musicians,
composers, conductors, producers – to receive training and development within a 
professional environment.
