Music Talk: How Do Funding Schemes Work?
Do you play in a band, make music or work as an artist, and want to understand how funding schemes work?
Welcome to Musikkprat with Arnfinn Wadstensvik Bjerkestrand. Having read a large number of applications, Arnfinn will share insights into how funding schemes have changed over time. What is considered when applications are assessed, and what are funders actually looking for in an application? How can musicians and artists succeed with funding applications? These questions and much more will be explored in this conversation.
