In this harsh economic climate, visual artists whove got interesting
ideas to further their practice and careers are seeking out dedicated
opportunities to learn about how to enhance their project pitching and
fundraising techniques. In response to this, a-n The Artists Information
Company that specialises in artists professional development and Hen
Norton, co-founder of the crowdfunding organisation WeDidThis, developed
a seminar designed to do just that.
The session looks at identifying your key audiences, making the most of
your networks and developing a strategy and timeline for making the most
effective use of micro-financing. Participants need to be computer
literate and familiar with self-directed learning, as this session
relies on these. You should also be familiar with using social media and
ideally have undertaken some initial research into the basics of
crowdfunding.
Open to visual artists who have been practising for five years or more and have established professional networks, already shown work in a public setting or undertaken paid-for commissions, residencies or similar projects. The scheme is also open to freelancers working in the visual arts such as curators and project managers that have an established freelance practice and are looking for opportunities to create collaborative projects with artists and within their networks.
