Led by artist and arts worker, Daniel Sean Kelly, this workshop session will focus on grant applications for visual art projects, and consider how we can use storytelling strategies to improve our chances of success. We will look at how stories are told, consider how to hold a reader's attention, and think about what needs to happen for someone to say yes to your project. We will bring in concepts from behavioural economics, marketing strategy and sales techniques to inform our approach to funding bid-writing.
Daniel Sean Kelly is an artist and arts worker based in Leicester. He leads the fundraising and development activity at Two Queens, an artist-run gallery and studios based in Leicester, including ongoing work to help the organisation buy their building. Daniel has a wealth of experience supporting individual artists and small organisations in applying for grant funding, and also works as a Fine Art lecturer on courses in the East Midlands.
