The Writing Squad

Applying to ACE's DYCP grants with Stevie.

OPEN TO ALL SQUADS.NOTE: By signing up to this Eventbrite, you are confirming attendance to BOTH sessions involved. The first on 1st July (7-9pm), the second on 29th July (7-9pm).Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) is Arts Council England’s funding scheme that aims to provide financial support to individual artists in order to facilitate a step change in their career. In this workshop successful DYCP applicant, Stevie will help you to think strategically about your career as an artist and help you to consider how DYCP funding could best support you in achieving your aims. DYCP is a very competitive funding programme and while it is important to note that attending this workshop will not necessarily guarantee you success in the application process, the aim will be to increase your chances of writing a strong application with support from Stevie and the other workshop participants.This workshop will take place over two sessions. To maximise the benefits of the support on offer you will need to spend time thinking about and working on your application in-between the two sessions.Session 1 - This session will begin with a practical exercise that will help you to think more strategically about your aims and ambitions as a writer. We will also look closely at the DYCP criteria and explore ways in which you can begin to map out a DYCP funding application that will help you to achieve your career development goals.Session 2 - This session will be focussed on sharing your progress with the application and gaining constructive feedback from Stevie and the other workshop participants. It is not expected that you will have fully completed your application by this stage but rather that you will have a broad idea of the shape of your application and a draft of some of the key sections of the application form.If you would like to take part then please familiarise yourself with the DYCP funding programme by looking through the guide lines on ACE’s web page ahead of the first session: <a href="https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/DYCP" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a>
