So you want £12,000 to develop your creative practice and you don't know where to start.

I've been there, it's overwhelming.

Arts Council England's Developing Your Creative Practice funding is an incredible opportunity for artists of all skill levels. Here are the headlines:
- You can pay yourself for development activities over 1 year
- You can travel, attend courses, buy materials and make work
- The application process is 3 questions, a budget and an activity plan (so pretty simple!)
- There is minimal reporting: it's all about YOU

In just over 1 hour, I'm going to give you everything that you need to know about how to apply. It's a bit of a whirlwind, but I hope it helps.

I'm running 3 sessions in March: Monday 11th, Thursday 14th and Tuesday 19th.
Book tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-get-dycp-funding-from-arts-council-england-tickets-820009740207
Or click "going" on Facebook: facebook.com/events/769407495206473

Tickets are pay-what-you-feel from £1 with a couple of free spots too 💸

If I've helped you out with your application before, then please share this workshop on to others. I'd love to reach even more creatives to tell them all about this excellent pot of funding for artists.
