Get that Funding: Arts Council

Everything you need to know about Arts Council funding, and how to get it.

Arts Council England is going through one of its biggest periods of change in years. New system, new strategy, a new application process for DYCP.

If you've been putting off applying, or had a knock-back and aren't sure why, this is the workshop for you.

Bid writer and arts funding consultant Lara Monro is hosting a practical, no-jargon session covering everything you need to know to give your application the best possible chance.

What we'll cover:

• Who can apply, which disciplines ACE supports, eligibility rules, and what's changed
• ACE's new Strategic Framework and what it means for your application right now
• What types of projects and activities they fund (and some important nuances)
• The Do's and Don'ts of writing a strong application, straight from experience reviewing hundreds of them
• How to access free support with your application if you identify as neurodivergent or have any invisible or visible disability
