The workshop will help you figure out how to source funding for your art project.
We will discuss how to develop a project that grabs donors’ attention, tie all expenses into a strong budget, and explore unexpected ways to source funding when grants do not work. After that, we will discuss the specifics of working with international projects and what to consider when applying for funding as a state or municipal institution.
In five days, you will get the basics. After that, you will get the chance to ask all your questions and discuss your project with experts during personal consultations.
When: lectures on 2-6 March (14.00-18.00), consultations on 7 and 9 March (individual schedule)
Where: Zoom
