A 3-week online programme for artists who want to prepare stronger applications for funding, residencies, solo exhibitions and other professional opportunities.

Prepare. Present. Progress


coming October 2026

Over three live sessions, we'll work through the key elements that can make the difference between an application that simply ticks the boxes and one that gives a selector a reason to take notice.
Developing your proposal
Learn how to turn an idea into a clear, focused proposal that communicates what you want to do and why it matters.
Communicating your practice
Learn how to present your work, experience and intentions in a way that supports the opportunity you're applying for.
Writing with purpose
Move beyond trying to find the "right" words and learn how to communicate your ideas clearly, confidently and in your own voice.
Presenting your work
Consider how your images and supporting material work together to communicate the quality and relevance of your practice.
Tailoring your application
Understand why a strong application isn't simply a generic description of your work copied into every form.
Bringing it all together
Develop a more organised and repeatable approach to applications so that you're not starting from zero every time an opportunity appears.





What You'll Learn

GET CHOSEN

You've found an opportunity that feels right for you.

Then you open the application form.

And suddenly you're faced with questions about your project, your practice, your aims, your budget, your audience, your images and your experience.

Where do you start?
How do you make sure the application actually communicates the quality of the work you're proposing?

Get Chosen is a practical three-week programme designed to help you approach applications with greater clarity, confidence and professionalism because getting the opportunity isn't just about making good work.It's about being able to communicate why your work matters, what you're proposing, and why you are the right person to deliver it.

Format: Live interactive sessions + weekly assignments
Duration: 3 weeks, one session per week
Community: Join a private group to connect with other artists on the same journey
Materials: Access to recordings, worksheets and guides

Course Details

You're an artist who wants to:
  • Apply for funding but don't know where to begin
  • Develop a proposal for a residency
  • Put yourself forward for a solo exhibition
  • Apply for open calls and other opportunities
  • Strengthen applications you've made before
  • Stop leaving applications until the last minute
  • Become more confident talking and writing about your work
  • Build a professional body of application material that you can develop over time
  • Take your practice and your opportunities more seriously

You don't need to have a long list of exhibitions or previous successes and you don't need to be an experienced applicant.You simply need to have work you're ready to put forward and a desire to pursue the opportunities that could move your practice forward.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You can't guarantee that a panel will choose you.

What you can do is make sure that when an opportunity comes along, you're prepared to present your work, your ideas and your ambitions as strongly as you can.

Get Chosen is about giving you the confidence and tools to put yourself forward.

Get ready for the opportunities you want.
