About the Scholarship
Performance is an art and a language that connects people across cultures, backgrounds, generations, and beliefs. Steamboat Creates with the help of local band, Heads All Empty, has set up a fund to provide Rehearsal Space Scholarships for facility use at the historic Depot Art Center. The heart of this fund is to provide a platform for emerging musicians and bands to connect and practice so they can share their music and earn a living from the passionate pursuit of their art form. Scholarships are open to all Northwest Colorado musicians and industry workers who want to rehearse, create, connect, collaborate, and level up.
