Generations is a fellowship program in partnership with Sound NSW, Powerhouse Museum and Blacktown Arts to support Western Sydney (early career) contemporary musicians/bands and their development within the NSW music industry.
The program offers two successful recipients (individuals or groups) $25,000 each towards a creative project as well as 6 months mentorship and studio time at Blacktown Arts.
The aim of this funding program is to:
connect emerging musicians in the early stages of their career with established industry professionals supporting intergenerational knowledge and experience within the music industry
provide studio space for administration, meetings, writing, rehearsal, and possible recording opportunities
give fellows practical industry connections that help them develop entrepreneurial skills and work independently, including building relationships with musicians, songwriters, producers, agents, record labels, and publishing executives
in addition, there may be opportunities to provide performance and program development opportunities with Blacktown Arts, Sound NSW and Powerhouse.
