If you’re an artist, creative practitioner, or cultural organiser, you’ll know that funding can be the difference between an idea staying on paper — or becoming a real project that reaches audiences, builds confidence, and creates opportunities.
This Artists Gathering is the first session of 2026, and it focuses on one of the most important topics for working artists: how to fund your creative projects.
Taking place at Arnolfini Arts in Bristol, the session offers a supportive space to ask questions, learn from others, and gain practical insight into how funding works across the arts sector.
- You’ll hear from:
- Fleur Williams (Sasolo)
- Izzy Cross (Noods Levels)
Members of the DAN (Diverse Artists Network) team
Whether you’re applying for the first time or developing a project for the next stage, this gathering will help you think more clearly about where to look, what funders are looking for, and how to present your work with confidence.
