Inner West Creative Toolbox: Money Money Money!
June 15 @ 1:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Fund your future. Monetise your magic.
Money matters. This Learning Lab is designed to help you build the confidence, knowledge, and practical tools to fund your creative future.
The day begins with a foundational 101 masterclass focused on growing, managing, and diversifying your income, before moving into three in-depth workshops exploring Grant Writing, Monetising Your Creative Practice, and Philanthropy. You’ll then take your learning further in our live case study roundtables, unpacking real-world challenges alongside industry experts and fellow creatives.
Whether you’re applying for your first grant, exploring new income streams, or ready to take your fundraising to the next level, Money, Money, Money offers practical strategies, fresh thinking, and real-world advice for wherever you are in your creative career.
