Music in Action
Music in Action is a project grant designed to provide financial support for local musicians while addressing the greater need for hope, healing, and community exposed by the killing of George Floyd. The intent of this grant is to supply musicians with the funds needed to create a concert program and retain fair compensation for their performances. Projects must be pre-recorded and will be premiered virtually, with video hosting provided by RWSUM. Proposals should demonstrate the applicant’s dedication to spark healing, humanity, and joy through the vocal arts. Though not an eligibility requirement, this program especially values the stories and opinions of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and persons with disabilities. We encourage applicants who identify as such to apply.
For further information and to apply for a grant, please download the MiA Grant Overview and the MiA Grant Application.
