Do you have an idea for a creative project but need some advice? This May, Creative Black Country are hosting four surgeries with Arts Council England, on how to apply for Arts Council Project grants and Creative Black Country’s Open Access Awards. The sessions will contain a presentation on applying for Project Grants from Arts Council England and there’s the opportunity to book a one to one session with an Arts Council representative to discuss project ideas, receive advice into funding bids and much more.
There will also be information about Creative Black Country’s Open Access Award which supports activities that build audiences and promote creative and artistic excellence across the Black Country.
This event is for individuals, groups or organisations who are interested in finding out more about Arts Council's Project grants work and bringing creative work/activity to the Black Country. It's a good opportunity for Black Country creatives to meet with a representative from the Arts Council and connect with Creative Black Country.
You will be given valuable insight and advice into the application process for both Arts Council Project grants and the Open Access Awards. It's also an opportunity to network with individuals, groups and organisations who are looking to deliver creative activity in the Black Country.
