About this Event
Metal is working with Arts Council England (ACE) to host a series of talks and open advice sessions about how artists, creatives, community and voluntary groups can apply for a Project Grant to fund their work. ACE are keen for more people from the Peterborough and Fenland area to apply.
We’re offering free sessions for artists who live and/or work within our local area (Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, and surrounding villages). This session will be supported by local artist Kate Marsh along with a member of the Metal team. These sessions will have an Arts Council project Grant focus, but will be led by you and what you’d like to discuss, which might include:
- Talking through a project idea
- Deciding which Arts Council funding stream is right for you
- Budget development or reading draft applications
- Discussing your creative practice
- Building relationships with different organisations, voluntary groups, partners or venues to support an application
We’re offering these sessions in person at our location Chauffeurs Cottage in Peterborough, as well as the option to discuss your work with us online. There is one session available per artist and the slots are 1 hour long.
Kate Marsh is a disabled / crip artist researcher. Assistant professor at C-Dare (centre for dance research at Coventry University). Kate's practice - research is focused on nurturing spaces for disabled and crip artists to develop and realise their ideas and practice. She is interested in re-imaging leadership in the arts in a way that truly makes access for everyone.
