🎸 The results are in! This summer’s Music for the Senses art trail gave a major boost to Manchester’s creative economy, generating £200,000 in direct support for local artists and creative businesses.
Our event helped channel over £162,000 straight back into the city’s creative community through artist commissions, local production and partnerships.
Plus, the auction of artist-designed and musician-donated guitars raised another £35,000 – kickstarting the Greater Manchester Grassroots Music Fund, now open and managed by @4evermanchester.
This new fund will help emerging musicians hit the road by covering essential touring costs like travel, engineers and promotion.
