The best way to learn about interesting funding programs and upcoming deadlines is to talk to colleagues. That’s why we invite you once a quarter to an informal exchange about aspects of fundraising. We start by presenting the relevant funding programs of the quarter with regard to the funding criteria, which may vary from city to city, and give an overview of current funding deadlines. Afterwards, there is time for questions and exchange among each other. In addition, the meetings provide an opportunity to network with colleagues in Cologne and Berlin.

About ONpaper digital workshop series of inm / field notes berlin and ON Cologne
In this year’s online workshop series ONpaper, which we are again organizing together with the initiative neue musik / field notes experts will teach basic skills for working in the independent scene.
Under the heading »Application Fitness« we will get you ready for project funding in the spring. In addition to classic workshops with introductions to the funding landscapes of Berlin and Cologne, to writing applications, or to accounting, this year we are also building on new formats and offering Meet the Jury, regular funding regulars’ tables, or sessions on writing applications together.
Although the independent scene defines itself in part precisely by breaking away from hierarchical ways of working that widely encourage the abuse of power and racism, it is not exempt from structural exclusion either. On the contrary, it lacks diverse perspectives and non-normative bodies, attitudes, narratives, and aesthetics. With workshops on anti-racism and diversity development, we would like to accompany the scene in this process of opening up, sensitize it to blind spots, and facilitate access to the scene for marginalized people with empowerment offers.
A third module on press and public relations, audience development, and profile building and management will provide concrete assistance in the development and implementation of projects.
The workshops are aimed at artists from the independent contemporary music scene in Cologne and Berlin and are free of charge. We ask for binding registrations.
The workshop series will be continued after the summer break. We will announce the program in the course of the next months. Please feel free to contact us with your ideas or suggestions at marketing@inm-berlin.de or info@on-cologne.de.
