Five years after the pandemic, arts workers, creatives, and organisations are still navigating Australia’s shifting funding landscape. How can we build sustainable financial models beyond traditional grants? Join us for a timely panel discussion on diversifying income streams, ethical fundraising, and long-term donor engagement.

Speakers

  • Samantha May Jones (Head of Development at Biennale of Sydney)
  • Sam Watson-Wood (Curator, Creative Producer, Consultant)
  • Eden Tollis (Head of Philanthropy, Sydney Film Festival)

Our expert panel will explore:

  • Strategies for securing private donations, sponsorships, and crowdfunding
  • Building meaningful, long-term relationships with donors and corporate partners
  • Grant writing insights to boost funding success
  • Ethical considerations in arts fundraising – navigating conflicts and aligning values

Whether you’re an artist, producer, or arts administrator, this conversation will offer practical strategies and fresh perspectives. After, join us for drinks and nibbles!

📅 Tuesday 29 April, 6:30-8.30PM
📍 Joseph Sargeant Community Centre, 60 Prospect St, Erskineville NSW 2043
