Forté Project is an artist development scheme in Wales launched in 2015 by Beacons Cymru and Creative Wales.[1]

Every year Forté Project supports several Welsh musicians at early stages in their career. The project is offered to those aged 16–25 for 6-months providing support, opportunities and industry development.[2][3] Artists have received radio airplay and performances across the world.[4]

History

The Forté Project started in 2015. In 2021 parent company Beacons Cymru was formed with support from Creative Wales.[5]

Until 2021, the Forté Project was only for artists based in South Wales.[6] However, for their 2021 cohort of artists, the Forté Project became a Wales-wide scheme.[4][7]

Forté Project's director is Spike Griffiths.[8][1]
