Fundraising for Creatives
WATCH THE RECORDING
(Note: the first minute is missing. In it, Anna started to explain what a "SWOT" analysis is and told us that "S" is for "Strengths," "W" is for Weaknesses" and the video picks up with Anna asking the audience what the "O" stands for. )
Here's THE WORKSHEET Anna handed out.
This workshop by artist Anna Warfield offered an overview of the various ways in which artists can generate income and delves deeply into the topic of crowdfunding. She covers what makes a successful crowdfunding campaign and offers insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various crowdfunding platforms. Watch with an open mind, and a readiness to think creatively about fundraising for your own creative practice.
