What if you could, finally, put your creative practice first without having to give up the things in life you love?
What if there was a way to get clear about your creative goals, work out a plan and secure funding to support your creative career… that was also easy, supportive and fun?
As artists and creatives with loads of ideas and life things happening, it’s easy for our artistic practice to get pushed to the bottom of the pile.
I’m Manda Graham, and I want to let you know that if you are ready to put your creativity first, there are lots of ways you can make it happen.
It’s time to make space to create!
I do funding and business support differently!
Do any of these sound familiar?
“It’s time for me to step up and be a ‘proper’ artist.”
“I want to focus and find the time and space bring my ideas to life.”
“I’m feeling a bit stuck and want to work out what’s getting in my way.”
“I spend all of my time working on other people’s projects.”
“I’m frazzled, working ridiculous hours and still can’t make ends meet.”
I get it, I’ve been there!
I have been supporting artists and delivering my own creative projects for over 20 years. So, I’ve become an unofficial expert on setting up and running sustainable creative businesses.
With the right support, it’s 100% possible to focus and take the next step in your creative career without giving up the stuff that matters.
