Are you an independent artist, collective or cultural entity eager to learn about private sector fundraising and opportunities to build your confidence and capabilities?
Join Creative Partnerships Australia in Canberra for a free workshop introducing the principles of arts fundraising and the Australian Cultural Fund (ACF), an online fundraising platform for artists.
This session will suit leaders and/or fundraisers within cultural organisations and individual artists seeking the tools and confidence to begin their fundraising journey. It will cover fundamental elements of philanthropy and sponsorship, share simple strategies to kick start your fundraising, and demonstrate how the Australian Cultural Fund can facilitate donations to help bring your vision to life.
