The session includes examples of successful campaigns along with practical exercises to help you develop the skills to pitch your ideas effectively. Through the course of the day participants will gain the background knowledge to turn their crowdfunding proposals into a reality. The session is open to artists with some experience of writing proposals and securing funds for projects. It has also proven to be of great value to other arts professionals such as arts organisers, cultural producers and curators looking to extend their skills base.
How to develop audiences through crowdfunding is led by Hen Norton, a social artist, creative producer, experienced workshop leader and co-founder of the crowdfunding platform wedidthis.org. Since the site’s merger towards the end of 2012 with People Fund It, she has turned her attention to exploring how we can better understand the crowdfunding model and apply these findings to a wider context, as a tool for the social and creative sectors to build sustainable business models, systems and networks.
A limited number of free 45 minute Skype Advice & guidance sessions with Hen Norton will be available on a first booked first served basis.
Charges: £25 (full price), £20 (discounted price for a-n members). Includes coffee, tea and soft drinks (lunch is not included).
Further details: This event is aimed at visual artists and project managers at a mid-career career stage. Priority will be given to businesses or residents from Medway and North Kent.
