Welcome to Framework: our online interactive workshop series for artists seeking to develop essential skills.
We’re starting with a module about money. Specifically, how you ‘make it’. Over three sessions you’ll learn how to get ahead of the game and give yourself the best chance of winning that grant, smashing that crowdfunding target, and simply boosting your income now and in the future. Using a mix of theory and hands-on practical exercises, you’ll come away with a new set of tools to give you the best chance of securing funding.
