Alternative Funding Structures

- Workshop -

In Europe, due to the economic and financial crisis, public funding for arts and culture have been continuously cut down. For artists and organisations in many non-European countries, public funding is scarce or not existing at all, and often they depend on Western funds. In order to secure financial means, alternative funding models such as business & arts cooperation, crowd-funding and philanthropy emerged.

This workshop gives an opportunity to introduce and discuss different funding models for artists and organisations especially in developing countries. Funding models supporting sustainable development through long term projects are urgently needed. A specific focus will be put on the Arab region, that is living in a period of transition and uncertainty.

• What kind of funding mechanisms exist to help individual artists and cultural organisations to become independent from international donors and more sustainable in the long term? What are their opportunities and constraints?
• Which models/structures could be adapted to the situations and programmes you know in countries in cultural and political transformation?
• How can other and more sustainable funding structures be developed? How could closer collaboration, partnerships and networks between donors contribute to this goal? Are there other ways, methods and experiences?
