Guildhall Creative Entrepreneurs Scheme

Applications are now open for the 2017-2018 Guildhall Creative Entrepreneurs Scheme run by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama together with social enterprise Cause4. Guildhall Creative Entrepreneurs offers enterprise training, mentoring and funding support to aspiring entrepreneurs in the performing arts and creative industries. 

The Guildhall Creative Entrepreneurs Open Day on 3 May gives potential applicants the opportunity to hear from scheme leaders and alumni, and meet with both established and aspiring entrepreneurs currently working in the creative industries. Since 2016 the scheme has been open to applicants from across the performing arts sector as well as Guildhall alumni and staff.

The scheme offers an intensive 12 month programme and the participants have access to personalised training, mentoring and coaching, office space, professional networks, seminars and workshops, a programme of special events and the opportunity to pitch to select investors, funders and supporters at an organised pitch event towards the end of the 12 months. The deadline for the 2017/2018 applications is 6 July at 5pm. Full information can be found on the Guildhall School website.
