jazzahead! 2022 Bursaries from Creative Scotland / Glasgow Jazz Festival

Funding is available for bursaries for artists or their representatives to attend jazzahead! 2022 either online or in person in Bremen (subject to COVID-19 rules allowing international travel).

jazzahead! is the largest gathering of world-class professional delegates working in jazz. The event features a trade fair, showcases and conference sessions. It is a professional and career development opportunity to expand awareness of the international jazz sector, and to network with industry professionals from all over the world: programmers, promoters, record labels, publishers, distributors, artist managers, broadcasters and journalists.

jazzahead! 2022 takes place 28 April-1 May 2022. It will be a hybrid event, making it possible to attend on-site (in person) in Bremen, Germany, or online. You can choose to be considered for a digital and/or in-person bursary.

Scotland-based jazz and improvising musicians or their representatives are invited to apply for a 2022 Delegate Bursary.
