An informative panel discussion via Zoom on arts funding with Relationship Manager (South West Combined Arts) for Arts Council England, Nick Green, ACE Developing Your Creative Practice recipient Gemma Gore and recipient of Mike Howley Trust funding, Chloe Russell-Thompson.
Nick Green
Nick Green will introduce the work of Arts Council England, current funding priorities and talk through the new format of National Lottery Project Grants.
Gemma Gore
Southampton based visual artist & writer, Gemma Gore will discuss her recent ACE Developing Your Creative Practice grant.
Gemma’s practice pursues collaborative forms as a method of un/learning. Using lens based media, drawing and coding, Gemma makes sensuous interactive art works. A member of artist collective Stair/Slide/Space and People and Place artist network based in the New Forest, in the past year she has been developing From Doggerland, a shared practice with Jo Willoughby, who is based in the Netherlands. Together they explore remote connection and presence throughout the metaphysical submerged site of Doggerland.
Chloe Russell-Thompson
This is also an opportunity to learn about IW-based funding, the Mike Howley Trust, a funding stream for the specific benefit of aspiring young actors, musicians, dancers and writers, aged between 18-30 living on the IW.
Chloe Russell-Thompson applied to the Mike Howley Trust with their band, Bluest Boy, with the aim of recording and releasing their debut album in 2017. The funding also allowed the band to host an album launch night, which was very successful. Chloe is a Music Technology graduate who grew up on the Isle of Wight and now lives in Brighton. They currently work in a bar and venue which is also a queer safe space, doing live sound for the weekly open mic nights.
