Gentle reminder.

✍️📚Our Writing Funding Applications workshop takes place this Wednesday, 5 August, online from 6.30–8.30pm.

We’ll work through a successful Arts Council Bursary Award application, while also looking at other funding opportunities, including the Project Award. The session offers a practical overview of writing stronger applications, alongside a discussion of the realities of funding today: how applications are assessed, why competition is fiercer than ever, and how AI is beginning to influence the writing and structuring of applications.

Please sign up via our website, so we have an idea of numbers for the online session.

We’ll finish with an open Q&A, where you can bring questions, concerns, or assumptions about funding applications and the application process.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
