Planning a music tour and require support?
Apply to Concerts SA’s Music Mobility Fund which will select new projects in
September. This tour support mechanism offers opportunities for South
African-based creatives to undertake live music tours in Southern African
Development Community (SADC) countries. The fund provides support to live music
performances, collaborations and performance-based workshops. The deadline for
submissions is midnight Sunday 16 September, and tours should take place
between the end of October 2018 and the end of May 2019.
National
Projects
Artists from all provinces are invited to
apply for national projects taking place in any South African province(s). The
bulk of the budget must be allocated to activities taking place outside the
province where the artist is based. Applicants may request up to R30,000.
Regional
Projects
Regional projects must take place in one or
more of the identified SADC countries. Applicants will need to conduct their
own research and have identified and communicated with a potential partner or
host. The partner may be an individual or organisation and must be an
established musician or music professional, and must be based in the SADC
country (or countries) where the project will take place.
