SUCCESSFUL FUNDING APPLICATION LIBRARY
/
Funding applications are forms you complete and submit to funding bodies, organisations or trusts in the hopes of gaining money to support something you would like to do. In the arts, funding covers all sorts: a gallery’s running costs and programming, artist fees, staff payment, materials, money for research and development, marketing, printing, production, archiving, organisational development, travel… everything really. The arts relies on it. Artists and groups apply for themselves and if they’re lucky, they’ll get something; and big galleries apply to lots of different private and public funders in order to make up their big budgets. But knowing where to start when writing an application can be difficult; knowing who to apply to can be tricky as well.
Thank you ARTCONNECT for putting a guide to help us navigate the ins and outs of how to identify red flags when applying to an open call.

Art Residency Scams – How to Identify and Avoid Them
Curatorial hotline launched a collective initiative and a call for solidarity named curatorial hotline. We devote several hours of our time per week to video calls with emerging artists, offering them theoretical guidelines, practical advice and maintaining human contact.
The appointments are given by curators on a voluntary basis, and without preselection. Time slots are usually released at the end of every month for the following month. In order to make curatorial hotline as much accessible as possible, we encourage artists to take only one appointment with one curator per month. Thank you!

Exposing the good and bad practices of art institutions and galleries!
To make visible the ongoing call-for-action for equal rights and fair payment in the arts, the researchers and artists Ahmet Öğüt and Burak Arıkan founded the outstanding online platform Code of Acquisitions. The website allows users to submit experiences and cases they had with an arts organisation and from the collected data it visualises complex mappings showcasing the institutions's or gallery's practices.
