A fundraising workshop designed to help you with applying to the Arts Council England’s Developing your Creative Practice fund, which opens on 12 December 2022. Producer Jenny Moore will walk you through the important considerations for your application and the most common mistakes people make when applying for this funding pot. This is an informal workshop, so bring along any questions you may have about your application!
You may have yet to decide on your project, have never applied to DYCP before or you may be experienced in writing funding applications – all levels of experience are welcome.
To sign up, please send an email to Jess ([email protected]). A Zoom link will be sent out to attendees ahead of the event.
This workshop is hosted as part of our Blast Creative Network programme. The BCN programme offers talks, workshops, opportunities and social events to bring emergent artists based in Sandwell or the Black Country a space for knowledge sharing and support. You can find out more here.
