ICMP tutor Sam Jones discusses music project funding infrastructures and how practitioners can use it for their work.
About this event
In this session, ICMP’s Sam Jones will discuss funding for domestic and international arts projects; how to become funder friendly, applying for funding, stewarding relationships, and growing support from partners and audiences.
Sam will explore the cases for rethinking how practitioners use funding, what projects it enables creatives to work on and explores who ultimately benefits.
He will also discuss case studies working on projects funded by Arts Council England and PRS Foundation in the UK alongside the British Council, Goethe and Hivos internationally. Elsewhere, he will explore some of the complexities of Western-centric funded activity in places such as the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa and the power-related issues connected with them.
