    Don't need the whole trajectory? Join one of four sessions on different aspects of starting your creative practice in the Netherlands


    The Raise Your Voice events are intended for emerging artists and designers with a technology oriented practice, seeking for guidance, information and development in the development of their professional practice. We offer 4 sessions that inform you and improve your skills in different aspects of running a professional practice in the creative field.

    Session 1:
    Project Plans & Applications | Friday 6 November, 15:00 - 18:00
    Whether it is to get funding for the development of your project, to apply for a residency program, or apply with your artwork for an exhibition, writing a project plan or application is a skill you need as a creative professional. In this session we offer information and guidance for writing a project plan for different purposes, we look at how to structure a text, share examples of successful project plans, and work to improve your application writing. You will get insight into how your applications are received, which information is important to reviewers and how to adapt your texts for different purposes. In case you are currently working on an application, there is the opportunity to ask for feedback.

    Session 2:
    Budgets & Finances | Friday 13 November, 15:00 - 18:00
    The financial side is as important as the content side of your professional practice. Defining a suitable hourly rate, what is important to take into account while budgeting for projects, a knowledge of the rules, guidelines and regulations in the Dutch creative field are at the base of making sure you are developing a professional practice that would actually pay the bills. In this session we will walk you through the rules and regulations in the Dutch creative field, work on defining a proper hourly rate and show different budget formats. We will also give you an overview of the funding landscape in the Netherlands, answer questions and provide feedback.

    In the session, we discuss different formats to present your project to an audience. How do you introduce an audience to your project? How do you structure a public event? Which aspects of your project fit for an exhibition, lecture, performance, workshop or publication? We will explore several formats, you will work on developing formats for your current project and receive feedback from the Baltan team.
