Question 1

How detailed does the budget need to be?

Jo Nancarrow · Accepted Answer

The budget for the Diss commission is £10,000 including VAT. This will be treated as a grant. This is inclusive of all expenses.

At the proposal stage, we are not looking for too much detail, or for everything to be costed to the nearest pound and penny. We would like to see a few basic budget lines with some estimated figures. We will be looking for your project management skills and your ability to set out a whole project budget, so this is an opportunity to show that you’ve considered all potential project costs. This may include artist fees and expenses, workshop and event costs, participant expenses, marketing and participant recruitment, and costs associated with the creation of the artwork. Unknown costs could be highlighted, and/or covered with a contingency.
