The Scops Arts Trust

About The Scops Arts Trust

The Scops Arts Trust is a UK arts funder focused on expanding access to the performing arts, with a particular emphasis on music, early-career artist development, and opportunities for children and young people. It tends to back structured programmes rather than one-off events, especially those that build performance experience, professional progression, and cultural provision in underserved areas. Applicants that can show clear audience access, strong performance outcomes, and a pathway from participation to progression are especially aligned with the Trust’s priorities.
