SUMMARY:Open Advice Sessions with Metal Liverpool
DESCRIPTION:Looking to discuss your creative practice\, explore a project idea or build relationships with local organisations? \nMetal’s Open Advice Sessions return for the Summer! We want to support you on your creative journey. \nWe’re offering free one-to-one sessions in-person or online for artists and creatives who live and/or work within our local area. These sessions will be led by you and what you would like to discuss\, which might include: \n\nDiscussing your creative practice\nTalking through a project idea\nAdvice or sign posting to different funding routes or opportunities\nBuilding relationships with different organisations\, voluntary groups\, partners or venues\nBudget development or reading sections of draft applications\n\nWho is this for? \nWe’re offering these sessions for people to discuss their work with us in-person or online. There is one session available per artist and the slots are 1 hour long. Sessions are free and will be open on a first come first served basis to those who live and/or work in Liverpool City Region where we are based. To ensure we can support as many artists and creatives as possible\, anyone who has previously booked a slot with us in the past 12 months won’t be eligible this time. \nThings to note \nOur team will share their experience and backgrounds with the disclaimer that that some things brought into the Open Advice Sessions might be outside of our expertise. In this instance\, we will try our best to help in the session.What you share with us in the session will stay in the meeting. We will not share your ideas outside of the session space. \nAbout the Metal Liverpool team \nIn Liverpool we are all practicing artists in our spare time and have various levels of experience developing participatory projects and workshops with clear social and political impacts\, working with people from diverse backgrounds. We have supported a variety of artistic disciplines and support a community of artists in our buildings from theatre\, dance\, film\, music\, writing\, sculpture\, drawing and painting\, as well as arts for health and wellbeing benefits. We have experience applying for Arts Council funding\, as well as smaller locally based trusts and funds. Learn more about our Liverpool site and our access to the building here. \nOnce you’ve made your appointment\, one of Metal team will be in touch over email. \nBook an Open Advice Session to speak with the Metal Liverpool team by visiting the link here. Come along and discuss your ideas – we look forward to meeting you! \nProject Grants update \nWe realise many artists and creatives will have been affected by Arts Council England’s decision to pause National Lottery Project Grant funding applications until September. \nIf you would like to speak to the Metal team about Project Grants in particular\, please let us know in the email correspondence we’ll share between when you book your place and the date of your Open Advice Session\, then we’ll endeavour to prepare options in advance. For example\, we can share alternative potential funding routes\, or help plan around the delay as best we can.
