Workshop 1 - Introduction to Income Generation

If you’re a creative or part of a cultural organisation, join us on two unique workshops to unlock your income generation potential and take your next steps with confidence!

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.

Through hands-on activities, we’ll explore:

  • How the Business Model Canvas can serve as a foundation for your case for support.

  • The 7 Steps of Cultivation, guiding you through building meaningful relationships that drive income.

  • The Power of the Ask, empowering you to feel confident and authentic when requesting support.

This session will be active, engaging, and designed to leave you with practical tools and fresh perspectives.

SPACES ARE LIMITED. BOOK YOURS here.

You’re also invited to join the second workshop 'Unlocking Business Benefits and Investment’ on the 10th February. To see more information and book your place click here.
