Money matters, so how do you ensure a project fee covers your costs? Join artists Deborah Rogers and Katrina Wilde for this in-person Factory Seminar – Costing a Project Effectively for an open and honest discussion about budgets. Work through real-life scenarios and figure out when to say yes to a project, when to say no and when to say yes, but only if…
Deborah and Katrina will draw on their own experiences of being commissioned artists and running arts organisations, sharing the true facts and figures behind specific arts projects. Love what you do and want to be paid fairly? Let’s work it out together as a creative community. This is an interactive session, and we welcome you to bring along any questions, scenarios or examples that you would like to explore. Please note, this is an in-person event.
