Sweatshop: Grants for the Arts

2.30-6pm. This Sweatshop is now fully booked. To be added to the waiting list, please email advisoryservice@artsadmin.co.uk. 

Artsadmin Sweatshops are informal hands-on afternoon sessions for artists focusing on a key area of artistic or professional development.

Join us for a discursive and practical workshop on how to apply to Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts scheme as an individual artist. Artsadmin producers and advisors will share tips, example applications and approaches with the aim to support artists applying for funding.

The Sweatshop is designed for artists who are applying for a small Grants for the Arts (under 15k) for the first time, or who are yet to have a successful application. It is best suited to those who are in the process of writing an application or have a clear idea of a project they want to apply for. Please feel welcome to bring draft applications and an openness to share ideas, advice and dilemmas.

Artsadmin’s expertise and experience lie in performance and live art, and so places for Sweatshops are best suited to artists working directly in these fields.

This will be a discursive, free session for up to twelve artists. To book, email advisoryservice@artsadmin.co.uk with a short introduction to your practice and why you’d like to attend the Grants for the Arts Sweatshop.

Please make sure you are able to attend before reserving a place.
