DAC awarded £30,000 grant as part of Arts Council’s Supporting Grassroots Music Fund. The grant will support an exciting transformation of an underutilised area into a live music zone. The project builds on DAC’s growing programme of diverse music events, championing local artists and talent development. Dugdale Arts Centre (DAC), Enfield’s flagship cultural hub, has been awarded £30,000 grant as part of Arts Council’s Supporting Grassroots Music Fund.
An exciting transformation will convert an underutilised area in the DAC into a vibrant live music performance zone, providing a space for young musicians and producers to perform and develop their talent.
There will also be upgrades to existing facilities and music equipment across the venue to enhance quality and support frequent music events.
The project aims to address the need for more grassroots music venues and performance opportunities for young and early-career musicians in the borough.
Cultural events and music programmer Lexy Morvaridi will be joining the team to produce the programme; Lexy was previously Contemporary Music Programmer at Southbank Centre.
Edmonton-based rapper of Tamil heritage, Nine Levels, and Founder and CEO of the DJ & MC Academy founder, Krissy Simms are on board as project ambassadors.
Councillor Edward Smith, Cabinet Member for Council Assets and Culture, said: “The DAC has always been a space that nurtures and champions emerging talents. This is a place where creativity, culture and community come together to create and thrive.
“Thanks to the grant from Arts Council, we can invest back into our community, build on DAC’s growing programme of diverse music events and truly support the thriving music scene in Enfield, increasing access to live music events for local audiences.
“With this grant funding, we can support homegrown talent and address the need for music spaces in Enfield.”
DAC will partner with one of London’s largest music event venues, Drumsheds at Meridian Water, and local organisations to offer paid opportunities, industry masterclasses, networking events and a mentoring programme to local emerging talents, including producers and technicians. This project is also supported by Nine Point Eight.
In addition, the grant will enable the delivery of a 12-month programme of live music events, showcasing local and emerging talents at DAC.
Enfield Council is committed to empowering young creatives through opportunities that allow them to gain skills to support their future success.v
