“Are you an emerging creative looking to take your work to new heights?” asked JUMBI and Colour Factory on Instagram yesterday. “[We’re] excited to present the Creative Legacy Grant 2024 - an initiative designed to empower young talents in the arts and events industries".
Those who apply must be under the age of 30, and should be “passionate about music, art, events, or curation”, the teams have confirmed.
The grant will provide “financial assistance to advance your creative projects”, while mentorship gives “one-on-one guidance from seasoned professionals.”

It will also give the two successful applicants a “unique chance” to design and host an event, providing “resources and backing” from both teams.
“We’re especially keen to hear from creatives based in Southwark and Hackney, but applications are open to all eligible candidates,” they said.
“Whether you’re ready to elevate your current projects or eager to bring new ideas to life, the Creative Legacy Grant 2024 could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.”
