UCAN Receives ATSAIN funding
/UCAN is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded an £8,400 'Atsain' grant by Anthem Music Fund Wales.
This project will develop and expand UCAN’s music participation work with vision impaired members (aged 25 and under). It will enable us to develop new best practice guidelines and techniques to share with partners and networks, explore new ground in music technology accessibility, and deliver accredited Arts Awards to participants.
We are indebted to our partners:
Cardiff School of Optometry and Vision Sciences - for providing us with invaluable activity space for our workshops
SightLife Wales - for supporting us and providing us with dedicated recording rooms
Focusrite - for donating high quality recording equipment to us
Trinity College London for granting us Arts Award Champion Centre Status, and supporting us in delivering accredited Arts Awards to our members.
Members will have full choice and control over the direction of their musical projects and development. We will also support members in collaborating on each others’ projects and sharing skills.
