Better Together #17

Join Katy Morrison for a practical session on writing stronger funding applications while thinking more strategically about income diversification and organisational sustainability.

Drawing on her experience as Director of PINK, an artist-led gallery, studio and event space in Stockport, Katy will explore how arts organisations can build clearer funding narratives while developing mixed-income models that support long-term resilience. The session will look at public benefit, organisational fit, access, partnerships, delivery capacity, impact and learning, alongside wider questions of earned income, space hire, studios, consultancy, trusts and foundations, local authority funding, Arts Council England funding and international opportunities.

The session is aimed at arts workers, directors, producers, trustees, programme leads and freelancers working with organisations. It will include practical advice, common pitfalls and space for live questions around funding, income and sustainability.

Hosted by Contemporary Visual Arts Network East Midlands (CVAN EM) & CVAN WM. Bi-monthly Better Together sessions are framed by a different urgent topic that is relevant to the East and West Midlands and wider arts and culture sector.
