The electronic music community is shaped by thousands of people around the world driven by their love for this culture. Doors Open was created to help those people find ways to make a living doing what they love.
Recognising that not everyone has equal access to opportunity, Doors Open actively supports organisations that help people who may be at a disadvantage find work.
We have committed to donate 100% of Doors Open's profits to programmes, charities and initiatives that empower people using the arts as we believe music and creative programmes have the ability to inspire, engage and enact positive change.
Doors Open x Saffron: Forward in Sound
In February 2023, Doors Open launched Forward in Sound in partnership with Resident Advisor, Saffron and Sound Services. Doors Open will fund a bespoke sound engineering course, developed by Saffron and Sound Services, for six successful applicants. Forward in Sound is open to women, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people, in a response to reports by the Audio Engineering Society that these less than five percent of positions in this side of the industry are held by people with these gender identities.
