The seminar will cover all aspects of the scheme but will concentrate on two particular parts of making an application; the creation of the proposal, and setting out the budget. Our priority is to provide advice for individual artists, but you are welcome to attend if you are a member of an organisation and the information will be equally relevant. We will not be able to enter into detailed discussion on individual applications, but the seminar leader will be available to give advice for a short period of time following the seminars. To get the best from the seminar it is essential that you obtain a copy of the Grants for the arts application pack beforehand and read the guidelines. You can do this by visiting our website www.artscouncil.org.uk or by requesting a hard copy by calling 0845 300 6200. The seminar is free and tea and coffee will be provided, but you will need to register in advance in order to secure a place.
