Individuals can apply for £2,000 to £10,000 to take a dedicated period of time to focus on their own cultural and creative development e.g.: period of research, time to create new work, travel, training, developing future ideas, networking etc.

The DYCP supports activity focused on:

  • Music
  • Theatre
  • Dance

Anyone who applies to DYCP needs to:

  • Apply as an individual or small group of practitioners
  • Be based within England
  • Have a UK bank account in the exact name they’re applying in
  • Be at least 18 years old
