​SMART’s Grants provide funding for Suffolk's young people to access arts opportunities. This might include:

 

• Access to and participation in music and other arts education

• Travel and other associated costs of auditions and interviews

• The costs of accessing specialist or tertiary education

• Membership of other nationally recognised music and other arts education organisations

• Access to national or international music and other arts opportunities

• Access to equipment needed for arts education and participation

• Access to music or other arts therapeutic services

 

These grants are available to young people who demonstrate a great deal of commitment to and enjoyment of the arts, but who cannot afford what they need to pursue that passion. At this stage, we are only in a position to offer grants to individuals, not organisations.
