If you’re an aspiring young artist, you could get a leg up in the industry courtesy of John Butler. The John Butler Seed project offers cash grants to help young artists make their ideas happen.
The 2008 categories are indigenous recording, professional and skills development, social activism through the arts, management workshop initiative, and the Jacqui McCoy Trust (for disadvantaged artists).
If you think you might fit the bill, head to the John Butler Seed website or MySpace page for more information.
