An intimate two hour workshop for artists looking to get ‘grant ready’
Want to develop your creative practice but first need to secure funding? Got a great idea for an arts project and looking to make a funding application, but don’t know where to start? Had a grant application rejected and want to gain some insight to better prepare for next time?
Join us for How to Get Money to Make Art, an intimate workshop designed to set you on the path towards getting ‘grant ready’!
During this intimate two hour long workshop led by FutureEverything’s Jonathan McGrath, an arts professional with over 20 years experience in the sector, and Hattie Kongaunruan, an artist in her own right who has successfully navigated the grant funding landscape, you’ll gain a basic understanding of arts funding. You’ll get insider tips on how to assemble the organisational foundations of a project, learn the types of vocabulary to use (and avoid) in your application, and which venues and funding opportunities might be best suited to you and your artistic practice.
So come with a project in mind and get guidance to make your idea a reality.
This is an in-person session taking place at SEESAW space in Manchester, places are limited and you will need to register on Eventbrite via the link below. If you would like to attend, but are unable to make it in person, then join the Zoom livestream where you’ll be able to access the session and your questions will be answered in a follow up email at a later date.
