The Institute of Cultural Diplomacy and berlinerpool are delighted to invite you to the one day intensive workshop on funding opportunities for arts from the private sector.

The workshop is intended to act as a bridge between Arts and Business, with Berlin’s animated and highly developed profile as a background. While the governmental and the EU’s main sources of funding and sponsorships for arts tend to be well known by the artists and the cultural project managers, the private sector is still considerate to be an unpredictable and capricious contemporary mecena for arts.

Throughout a range of lectures, panel discussions and practical workshops held by artists and professionals dealing directly with private sector social responsibility issues and budget, we aim to fill an informational gap that concerns the contemporary art and cultural scene of Berlin.

The working language of the seminar will be English.
Maximum number of participants: 25 (except ICD staff and interns)
The participation is free of charge.
For registration please send an email until 17th of June to puiu@culturaldiplomacy.org

Organized by Institute for Cultural Diplomacy
in cooperation with berlinerpool

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the seminar!
