As part of NN Nights 2025, we are offering 10 micro-commissions of £150 to support artistic events and activities.
We invite artists & creatives to apply for a £150 bursary to participate. Whether you want to present:
- A roaming performance
- A site-specific installation
- A pop-up exhibition
- An experimental music event
- A film screening
We especially welcome proposals that connect with Northampton’s 350th anniversary of The Great Fire of 1675—a historic event that reshaped the town and invite bursary proposals to explore the following themes:
- Resilience – How do communities rebuild and evolve after challenges?
- Regeneration – What does renewal mean in artistic, social, or environmental contexts?
- Transformation – How can we rethink Northampton’s past, present, and future?
How to Apply
If you’re interested in a micro-commission, please send a short proposal outlining:
- Your idea
- Proposed location/venue
- Relevant images
- Any useful links – website or social media
Deadline: 4 April, 5pm.
Successful applicants will be notified week commencing 7 April.
