Plymouth Culture invites you to join these free workshops designed and delivered by Micronomy, to create a springboard for connecting people, businesses, and ideas to flourish through the lens of income generation.
Held at the Barbican Theatre in Plymouth, these two-hour workshops will provide you with the tools, tried and tested techniques, knowledge, and confidence to explore income generation creatively and strategically.
Whether you're an artists, a creative freelancer or part of an organisation, these sessions will inspire fresh thinking and help you unlock new opportunities for growth and sustainability.
Workshop 1: Introduction to Income Generation
Are you new to income generation, stepping into a role where this will play a part, or a creative keen to deepen your impact? Perhaps you're looking to pause and reassess your approach to income generation amidst a busy schedule. This workshop is the perfect starting point for anyone ready to build confidence and explore creative ways to unlock financial and non-financial value for your practice, organisation or project.
