A full day workshop empowering photographers and artists to fundraise effectively and create a financial strategy for their practice.

About

Dodge The Shredder is a full day workshop empowering artists to fundraise effectively and create a financial strategy for their practice. Created, developed and delivered by Emilia Telese. 

The workshop looks at:

  • Approaching galleries and funding bodies with a great proposal
  • Minimising rejection when applying for funding
  • How to create a financial support strategy for your art practice
  • Writing about your practice effectively
  • Finding out about the best sources of funding for your practice

This session offers tailor-made feedback sessions for funding proposals in progress in a friendly, supportive environment. Participants are invited to bring copies of a proposal they are working on (this is not compulsory). Each proposal will be examined and suggestions will be made to improve chances of success.

Dodge the Shredder is widely considered to be the leading workshop of its kind in the UK. For Redeye, this workshop will include information tailor-made for lens-based artists working in photography, artists' film and video.
