A.C.T. of CT is proud to announce that applications are now open for the 2025 Posthumous Prodigy Productions Fellowship Award, a prestigious initiative honoring the memory of the late Bryan Gallace of Southport, Connecticut. This fellowship, created in tribute to Bryan’s extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication to music, provides a transformative opportunity for emerging musicians.

Bryan Gallace, a 2014 graduate of Fairfield Ludlowe High School and the Regional Center for the Arts, was a gifted musician whose passion for his craft was evident from an early age. As a senior at Berklee College of Music, pursuing a B.A. in Professional Music, Bryan’s promising career was tragically cut short at just 21 years old. In addition to his musical brilliance, he was a passionate advocate for equality and justice.

Each year, the fellowship awards a one-time grant of $30,000 to a selected musician, empowering them to create and develop new musical works—across any genre—and further their professional growth.

Musicians interested in applying can find detailed eligibility requirements and application guidelines at www.actofct.org/posthumous-prodigy-productions. The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2025.
