The Channel Islands Touring Fund is an initiative of ArtHouse Jersey and Guernsey Arts in association with Jersey’s Creative Island Partnership and funded by the Government of Jersey and Guernsey Arts. The fund has been set up to better enable music artists from the Channel Islands to engage in professional development through touring opportunities, as well as promoting a wider cultural exchange between both Islands. Musicians from both Jersey and Guernsey are invited to apply to cover travel costs relating to touring to perform across the Channel Islands, Normandy and Brittany as well as venues and promoters producing events for Channel Islands musicians.

Musicians might include sound artists, classical musicians, bands, singer-songwritersfor whom this fund could provide an opportunity to build inter-Island links and Channel Islands links to Normandy and Brittany.

Applications can be received at any time on a rolling deadline until the fund expires and will be considered towards the end of each month.
