"Hard Money" attracted artists
Over 40 artists and cultural professionals participated to Hard Money event on 14 August
Grants and project subsidies are vital for artists, but applying grants
is not easy. Catalysti Association, Cultural Center Caisa, Arts
Promotion Centre, Sivuvalo project and Culture for All Service arranged
together a grant informing workshop called "Artist ABC - Hard Money" for
transcultural artists on the 14th of August. The aim was to provide
detailed advice, support and guidance for professional artists in
applying for grants.
The afternoon was divided into two parts. First part consisted of
presentations by different foundations and institutions. Riikka Åstrand
from Myrsky project, Viivi Seirala from Arts Promotion Centre, Anna
Talasniemi from Kone Foundation and Anna von Bagh from City of Helsinki
Cultural office answered to the questions of the artists.
In the second part artists could choose two clinics of three. The clinics were about CVs, bios and portfolios, budgets and project proposals. The clinics were led by Edwina Goldstone, Roxana Crisologo, Anki Hellberg-Sågfors, Outi Korhonen, Jaana Lindman, Rita Paqvalén, Tomi Purovaara and Outi Salonlahti.
There is a lot of demand for these kind of workshops. The event was fully booked, and the artists considered the event very useful.
