I think I may have found a loophole in ACE funding. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll get anything – but I do now know it’s all about wording.
This took a fair bit of research plus an actual call to ACE instead of relying on email.
I also naively thought that perhaps exhibitors from Supermarket 2011 could offer an insight into their funding resources. Out of the 70 artists’ initiatives from 26 countries, 3 were from England, 1 from Ireland.
Over the weekend, I emailed 2 of the London ones who I thought were on a par with our groups, asking if they had received funding of any sorts.
OK – they may have been busy, away or forgot to look at their emails…. or maybe they are guarding their secrets closely. I won’t name and shame them, but needless to say – no response.
