About Mariama Attah

How the Funding Surgeries Work

• Sessions take place over Zoom.
• Find a suitable time slot and make your booking on this page.
• After booking you will receive an email with a link to a short form, asking you about your application, what you are looking for guidance on, and to upload a draft. You'll need to have completed this form no later than 5 working days before your appointment, to give Mariama time to review it.
• Your draft will be reviewed prior to the session so that Mariama is prepared with feedback and advice on how to strengthen your application, guiding the 60 minute online session together. You can ask any further questions in the online session.
• Notes will be emailed to you afterwards, so you can focus on being present in the session.

Eligibility

• You can be an artist at any stage of your career, working in any discipline.
  
• Your work must be related to health and wellbeing in some way - Arts & Health Hub only supports artists working in this field.
• You must have a draft of your application available - these sessions are specifically focused on working with what you have already put together. The application does not need to be fully finished, but you will need something for us to work with.

Questions?

If you have any questions you can contact us at info@artsandhealthhub.org.

Bookings & Refund Policy
Bookings are non-refundable. Arts & Health Hub is a small non-profit organisation run by freelancers without on-going support for core costs / staffing. If you are unable to make the session and you let us know - by emailing info@artsandhealthhub.org - with 72 hours or more notice, we will happily try to reschedule - one time - at a convenient time for both parties. By booking these sessions you understand that the feedback does not guarantee a positive decision from a funding body (we wish it did!). You will be required to submit the pre-session information form no later than 5 working days before the session date, in order to give time to review your application.
