What's On

Workshop: Fundraising

5th Oct 24 | 11:00 am | Bill Buck Room, Crawley Library, Southgate Avenue. RH10 6HG

Are you an artist or creative professional looking to secure funding for your next project?

Join us for an invaluable fundraising talk with Jamie Wyld ,a seasoned fundraising expert and Director of Dreamy Place, as he shares insider tips on how to craft compelling funding applications that stand out. Jamie will be joined by a Relationship Manager from Arts Council England, the biggest funder of the arts in England.

In this session, you’ll learn how to align your projects with funders’ priorities, with a particular focus on securing funding from Arts Council England. Discover exactly what funders are looking for and gain practical advice on developing arts, film, and digital projects that not only attract attention but also secure the funding you need to bring your vision to life.

This is your chance to gain expert insights and ask specific questions about your own projects, giving you the tools to navigate the funding landscape with confidence. While the focus will be on arts, film, and digital projects, all artists and organisations are welcome to join and benefit from this discussion.

This event is for people living or working in Crawley, West Sussex and Surrey only.
