Contours is a new stream of activity developed by Bas-Arts-Index to share insider knowledge and better inform our creative community about arts and cultural practice. Our first two workshops in this series are being delivered in partnership with Creative Estuary and supported by Basildon Council and Towngate Theatre. Bas-Arts-Presents: Contours builds on Bas-Arts-Index’s previous and existing programmes to support creative practitioners, including regular meetups, socials and newsletters running since 2019.



This session explores everything you need to know about arts briefs, from where to find opportunities, what to consider when responding, to deciding if it's the right fit for your practice.

Artist opportunities are commonly advertised through an open call process, however identifying, responding and planning your workflow can be tricky. Join us in this practical and collaborative session for insider tips and tricks from artist Lu Williams and artist / curator James Ravinet.







This session will explore the funding landscape within the arts, looking at both larger funding pots and smaller micro funds. Knowing what funding opportunities are out there and identifying what is the right fund for your project can be tricky to navigate. Join us in this practical and collaborative session for insider tips and tricks from artist Maz Murray and Artist-Filmmaker George Morgan.
