Tickets Ignite fund for art projects

Tickets Ignite fund for art projects

Tickets Ignite, a ticketing company that uses booking fees to fund arts projects, has launched a series of funding grants to support new work.

The firm is offering four grants of £1,000 each for any artist or organisation that has been involved in an event the company has ticketed since its creation in 2017.

The ticketing platform takes 30 per cent of the profits from booking fees into its Ignite Fund, which it later allocates as grants for new work.

The firm has already allocated £2,000, but the company has now opened up the Ignite Fund with £4,000 of grants, which will be doubled next year.

Grant applications are open until January 31, with the company adding: “We want to fund high quality, ambitious art. This can be in any form – theatre, music, comedy, dance, visual art, cross art form etc. We are looking for projects that demonstrate artistic excellence, ambition and passion.”
