Coventry City Council is launching a brand-new free programme to support the city’s arts and culture sector, with a special focus on smaller organisations and freelancers.

With funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Commonwealth Games Legacy Enhancement Fund, we have created a programme of training sessions to help organisations and freelance creatives to improve their skills and knowledge.

With over 300 places available, the Arts and Culture Business Booster programme offers online and in-person sessions. The sessions will be delivered by a wide range of organisations between 11 November and 13 December 2024.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and we encourage only one registration per organisation for each session. We will prioritise people and organisations who have not taken part in the WMCA Activate programme. The programme is aimed at people working in the arts and cultural sectors in Coventry.

Courses available

The Arts and Culture Business Booster covers a wide range of topics including fundraising, marketing, writing of essential organisational policies and media skills. All courses are free to attend. See the full list of courses on offer below or download the PDF brochure.
