Support us Become a Supporter Adopt an Artist Join our syndicate of supporters who choose to direct their gifts of £10,000+ to YCAT’s Artist Management Programme and see your investment flourish through the progress and performances of some of the most inspiring young musicians of our generation. It costs over £23,000 a year to support and manage each artist. Unlike the commercial management, we don't rely on a purely commission-based income generating model. Rather, from the outset, we have relied on the philanthropic generosity of individuals who share our belief in the importance of nurturing the next generation of artists. By Adopting an Artist you will: Invest in a young artist's future by funding their professional development and livelihood for 3-5 years, enabling their multi-year training, travel, opportunities and more Enable hundreds of high-profile performance opportunities during their YCAT tenure giving financial stability and income allowing the artist to grow and develop their craft. Support vital promotional, PR and digital materials essential in building young artists’ reach and profile.
