Funding Focus with OAUK
Following our conference earlier in 2023, OAUK is thrilled to be making a return to Bradford, where we made so many new connections while dancing in the cathedral! ‘Funding Focus’ is our new programme of free events to help Outdoor Arts practitioners & companies hit the jackpot when it comes to funding & fundraising.
B:D Festival is a new council-initiated festival, so we will consider the importance of outdoor work in the run-up to Bradford2025. We’ll be hearing from Karen Gallagher, Project Manager at Culture Liverpool and former Artistic Director for Merseyside Dance Initiative; Phil Hargreaves, Head of Creative Programmes/ B:D Festivals Lead at Bradford Council, and chaired by Angus Mackechnie, Director at OAUK.
