Are you a musician with a disability, special educational need or autism? If so, check out the EVOLVE pilot project, which is offering mentorship and support to one outstanding talent.

EVOLVE, a new initiative from Portsmouth Guildhall and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, is offering £3,000 to help develop one successful applicant.

The programme includes mentoring, training and support to produce a recording, presentation or composed piece.

The deadline for applications is 25 July at 5pm.

For more info, including guidelines and the application form, please see http://portsmouthguildhall.org.uk/guildhall-participate/evolve

Please note, musicians do not need to be Portsmouth residents to apply.

This scheme is part of EVOLVE, a pilot project which aims to address a lack of arts and cultural provision for children, young people and adults with physical and learning disabilities and autism in Portsmouth.
