The Trainers & Speakers
This bespoke course brings together the expertise and experience of one of the UK’s leading arts consultancies, the hub, with relevant guest speakers, who can provide an insight into the different areas of arts fundraising. Previous speakers at hub training days have included representatives from the world’s most successful and widespread creative network, Arts & Business and the national agency for the arts, Arts Council England. From the commercial world the hub has booked representatives of Sony and O2 to give delegates the inside track on sponsorship and at our last training event we were joined by a representative from The PRS Foundation whose presentation was a real hit with delegates. the hub are known for their ‘think and do’ approach to consultancy and training, which sees fundraising strategies and techniques regularly tried and tested in the field and subsequently, up to date and relevant advice offered to clients and delegates. The lead trainers are actively working as fundraisers today.
Why you?
With central government funding for the arts at a standstill until 2008, the pressure is on for arts fundraisers, programmers, curators, producers and promoters everywhere to be proactive about their fundraising targets and have a clear understanding of the fundraising options open to them. This course gives participants a practical overview of the variety of fundraising sources available and the opportunity to discover in which areas they are most likely to enjoy success. With a limit on budgets and time available, how are your working hours and skills best spent to get the maximum return? Should you be looking to Europe, approaching your local arts council, seeking business sponsorship or cultivating a high value donor? The course will help you to answer these questions in a supportive environment.
