Financial and career support will be available to more "outstanding and visionary music creators, performance makers and producers" through a new fund aimed at supporting early- and mid-career individuals across music and the performing arts. Jerwood Arts has developed the Live Work fund which, in collaboration with Wolfson Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and The Linbury Trust, is offering £660k to give 33 performance artists a 12-month lifeline. £20k awards plus professional development support from expert mentors is aimed at enabling them to "adapt and thrive through the challenges presented by Covid-19".
