Artist and Producer Support
Opportunity Tuesday
Opportunity Tuesday
I’ve been curating this weekly list of the most exciting PAID opportunities for artists, including commissions, residencies, funding pots and applications closing soon, since January 2018. It started on Twitter and now it’s a weekly newsletter!
It’s FREE (or £1 a week if you can afford it)
Consultancy, Access and Fundraising Support
I can provide the following services:
access support for ACE Developing Your Creative Practice and Project Grants, or other artist applications such as Unlimited grants, or general commissions.
Consultancy: for example producing, project design or co-design, support with co-creation work, support with shortlisting. My specialism is project design and/or co-design for large-scale creative projects for and with communities.
Fundraising support: I have written or co-written over 50 successful ACE project grants and have significant experience with trusts and foundations, and capital fundraising.
Workshops and/or mentoring.
Please get in touch to discuss fees and availability.
