Essential Guide
Please note - the 16 July Essential Guide has been cancelled.
The Essential Guide keeps officers working in the arts up-to-date with the latest news, initiatives and opportunities, in focused 2 hour sessions with a lively format.
Speakers include regional partners such as Screen East, arts organisations such as Commissions East, and lottery distributors such as Awards for All. The sessions include information about access to investment through strategic initiatives such as Escalator.
The Essential Guide is held 3 times a year at Arts Council East's office in Cambridge.
Please contact Helen Dixon helen.dixon@artscouncil.org.uk; 01223 454407, if you would like to receive an invitation for the next Essential Guide, or would like to find out more.
