Our Tool Kits
- We’ve produced a ‘Commissioning for the Arts Sector in Sussex' tool kit – summarising all commissioning info for the region and hopefully demystifying the process in the meantime.
Download the tool kit here - 'How to Engage Underrepresented People in the Arts' - This information was originally collated for our Writers' Award partners for a Participant Engagement and Marketing Pack, but it is useful information on how to work and engage with underrepresented people generally. Download the tool kit here
- We've produced a Pathway Guide for Writers to help navigate the writing world at whatever stage.
Purchase the guide here - We've also produced a Pathway Guide for Artists, suitable for artists at any stage of their career.
