SESSION INSIGHTS.
Reach out to board members at local arts spaces - the person to fund your idea may be closer than you think.
Approaching Partners: Is it a building or organisation sharing the ‘risk’ of the project. Are they equally financially invested?
Beyond finance, what are the gaps in the things you need?
Juggling Multiple Projects: Be strict with your personal time. Hold yourself accountable to not overworking.
Your boundaries are really important.
