The Financing & Fundraising course provides you with tools to develop a sustainable strategy for realizing artistic projects through financial support and partnerships. Starting from your artistic practice, we work on strengthening your personal entrepreneurship and connecting motivation, ideas, and finances into a coherent project foundation.

You will gain insight into how to design a financing strategy, analyze your project in relation to its context and stakeholders, and prepare strong and convincing application materials. We also explore how AI can be used as a practical assistant in the fundraising process. The course equips you with both an overview, concrete methods, and routines that make it easier to apply for funding and bring your projects to life.
