SUMMARY:ONLINE: Funding Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:THE BASIC BRILLIANCE OF HOW TO WRITE\, MANAGE AND MAINTAIN FUNDING \n\n\n\nFunding and grants are often held up as the holy grail of a successful arts career\, but there is no such thing as ‘free’ money.

A two hour webinar with our creative industries experts (which you can access later if you want)\, plus lifetime access to additional resources on our website containing more resources to support your learning. \n\n\n\nWho should sign up? Creative and arts practitioners\, freelancers\, start-ups\, students and arts entrepreneurs from beginners to established (International sign-ups welcome!). We also welcome curious hobbyists and people from outside the arts. \n\n\n\nWho’s the Host? Business advisor and creative industries expert Monica Davidson from the Creative Plus Business Group. Monica is a writer and filmmaker by trade who learned how to run a successful creative business and now shares that knowledge with others. In her workshops Monica discusses her own experiences\, and shares examples from the 900-plus people she has mentored through the process of starting and building their creative businesses. \n\n\n\nWhat’s Creative Plus Business?
