Aberdeen – Making Applications & Proposals

Cultural Enterprise Office Events

Aberdeen – Making Applications & Proposals
Thursday 29 January 2009, 13:30-16:30
Aberdeen Art Gallery, Schoolhill, Aberdeen AB10 1FQ

To coincide with Aberdeen Visual Arts Award scheme we are running this practical workshop for individuals, working in any artform, on making applications and proposals for funding, commissions and residencies.

Aimed primarily at individuals making applications and proposals concerning their own creative practice rather than for group and organisation applications. Making Applications and Proposals workshops have attracted over 300 artists, designers, musicians, filmmakers, performers, writers, photographers and community artists.

The session will cover planning and structuring your approach with the key information you need to convey in your application. We will also discuss what funders and commissioners are looking for and the materials needed to support your proposal.

This workshop is supported by Aberdeen City Council.

"Excellent presentation - offered help on structuring through the panic."
