'Subsidy Junkies?' a day of practical survival strategies for arts fundraising

How can the arts sector build and sustain income when faced with public spending cuts?

This one day symposium brings together fundraising and development professionals working in the arts and cultural sectors to explore this changing landscape, learn practical survival strategies, seek out opportunities and generate new ideas to stay financially healthy.

Programme
The day will include panel discussions looking at different business models in the arts and getting boards engaged with fundraising along with interactive workshops on pitching to business, major gifts ("making the ask") and the importance of looking after your supporters ("donor care"). Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided and there will be an opportunity at the end of the day to network with peers and presenters.
