Sponsor an Artist
Since 2022 we have awarded $5,000 scholarships to each of our artists during their year with us. This program is an incredible success and your support is vital to continue our much-needed scholarships.
These scholarships allow our Young Artists a greater financial freedom, leaving more time to focus on their studies with us. Each applicant submits a study plan outlining their intentions for the scholarship which can include vocal lessons, coaching, new performance attire, headshots, acting classes, language tuition, and much more.
Support such as this is simply invaluable at this stage of their development and can facilitate more efficient and detailed learning.
If you are interested in sponsoring an artist or have any further questions please contact our General Manager for a confidential conversation.
