How do I find the right funding for my artistic work – and what makes a compelling application? Anika Maßmann explains how artists can research suitable funding opportunities, interpret funding guidelines correctly and develop a coherent application from an idea. The session will also cover funding plans, deadlines and the requirements of funding bodies. The aim is to understand the logic behind funding decisions and to apply this knowledge specifically to one’s own artistic practice.
