Whether you’re new to applying for grants or have had some experience in the past, these sessions cover what you need, what to avoid, pick up some resources to add to your kete, as well as how to make a strong application.

About the Creative Practice workshops

Designed to support emerging artists, working artists and recent arts graduates with developing their independent creative practices. The goal of the workshops is to equip artists to engage confidently and professionally with their communities, via supportive connections between practitioners, a deep dive into their studio practice and issues related to working in the arts.

There is no cost to participants, only a commitment to attend and give time to your work while we work together.

Here's some thoughts from an artist on the Creative Practice mentoring program:

“Having been part of the mentoring workshops with Angela I have found myself working consistently and frequently towards my goal of being an artist.
I have found this workshop has hugely complimented my recent completion of the Bachelor of Applied Arts. Learning more about the practical steps you need to take in the creative arts sector has been exactly what I have needed to keep my own art practice alive and to understand a lot more about the creative industry aspect of being a working artist.
This is one of the best things I’ve done! Angela’s style and approach to the work we need to do for these workshops is educational, helpful and knowledgeable and she understands each of our individual needs well through her thoughtful observation of us as artists and what we are trying to achieve. Angela is a great mentor and I would highly recommend these continue for future artists”
