A discussion on alternate
funding strategies
for freelance creatives/artists or
organisations working with communities
Are you finding opportunities for funding are getting more difficult to find? The pots seem smaller and keeping projects running has become harder? Join us on Wednesday 9th July at The Moseley Exchange (B13 8JP) for a presentation on exploring new funding strategies with opportunities for networking over free breakfast snacks.
Over the past few years, accessing arts funding has become increasingly difficult. In this current climate, we believe that exploring alternate income generating sources paves the way forward for more stable creative future. We'll look into a range of alternative grant-based funders, crowdfunding, fundraising events and earned income and more, all as ways to make community and engaged arts projects sustainable.
The session will be facilitated by Rob Jones, Artistic Director of Misfits Music Institute. With going on a decade’s worth of experience fundraising for this organisation and other community organisations, he has an in-depth knowledge of Birmingham’s funding opportunities and the challenges of fundraising in a post-covid climate.
We will be hosting the event in person at the Moseley Exchange (B13 8JP) and online via Zoom simultaneously so that everyone has the opportunity to ask questions and network with others at our event.
