Central Coast Music & Arts (CCMA) is partnering with A New Way to present this month’s special Mix & Master event on August 19 at 16 Laycock St, Wyoming, at 5.45pm to 8pm.
The monthly events focus on professional development for creatives across all platforms.
Each month, a session on a key topic designed to help level up a creative career is featured.
The sessions include expert insights, practical tips, and real-world advice from industry professionals, followed by a short networking opportunity for attendees to connect with fellow creatives.
The monthly sessions provide valuable tools, inspiration, and professional growth for musicians, visual artists, writers, dancers, or those in any other creative field.
Attendees gain knowledge, expand their networks, and become part of the thriving creative community on the Central Coast.
Registration is essential, and spaces are strictly limited.
Writing grant applications can feel intimidating, especially when your focus is on making, performing, or producing.
Whether you’re an independent artist, part of a collective, or working freelance across creative projects, knowing how to approach grant writing is a vital step toward funding your ideas and sustaining your practice.
Join for a one-hour, practical workshop designed for the arts community, led by Lorrae McKenna and Holly Ditchfield from Golden Grants.
They will guide attendees through grants for travel, touring, and recording, and share what funders are really looking for.
This session will break down the essentials of grant writing: how to find the right opportunities, what funders are really looking for, how to clearly communicate your vision, and tips for building a strong project budget.
How to craft compelling support material, manage timelines, and avoid common pitfalls will also be covered.
Whether you’re new to grants or looking to sharpen your skills, this session will give you the tools and confidence to approach your next application with clarity and purpose.
It is suitable for artists, musicians, bands, performers, and creative freelancers of all kinds.
