Are you an artist working in the creative health sector and looking for support to shape up a funding application for your work? You can now book on to one of our 1 hour online surgeries to receive feedback and guidance on how to strengthen your application.
You can book a slot with either creative health consultant and Director of Arts & Health Hub, Daniel Regan, or curator and Arts & Health Hub Director Mariama Attah. Read on for more information about how the sessions work and Daniel and Mariama’s backgrounds.
How the Funding Surgeries Work
Sessions take place over Zoom.
Find a suitable time slot and make your booking (see links below).
After booking you will receive an email with a link to a short form, asking you about your application, what you are looking for guidance on, and to upload a draft. You'll need to have completed this form no later than 5 working days before your appointment, to give your adviser time to review it.
Your draft will be reviewed prior to the session so that your adviser is prepared with feedback and advice on how to strengthen your application, guiding the 60 minute online session together. You can ask any further questions in the online session.
Notes will be emailed to you afterwards, so you can focus on being present in the session.

Eligibility
You can be an artist at any stage of your career, working in any discipline.
Your work must be related to health and wellbeing in some way - Arts & Health Hub only supports artists working in this field.
You must have a draft of your application available - these sessions are specifically focused on working with what you have already put together. The application does not need to be fully finished, but you will need something for us to work with.
