Financing Creativity: Models for Arts & Culture

Financing Creativity: Models for Arts & Culture brings together cultural leaders and innovators to explore the diverse ways creativity is financed today. From public funding and philanthropy to earned revenue, crowdfunding, and impact investment, this event examines both traditional and emerging models shaping the cultural sector.

Through case studies and practical insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how different funding approaches affect artistic freedom, equity, and long-term sustainability. The event offers tools, perspectives, and conversations that support the development of resilient, inclusive, and financially sustainable creative ecosystems.

We will showcase our research informed by the Blueprint Programme, on social finance and healthy organisational development, and hear from representatives from The Auxiliary Middlesbrough, Maiden Voyage, and The Duncairn on the power of partnership and cross-collaboration rooted in shared values.
