Requesting Support From Z-arts

Z-arts is working with a new standardised support request process to ensure consistency for artists.Below outlines Z-arts approach to artist development.

The artist (you) complete and submit to us the Artist Development Google Form

On the first Thursday of every month, Zoe (Head of Programming), Isah (Artist Development Producer) and Liz (Artistic Director and CEO) will read all the submissions from that month.

The following Thursday we will meet to discuss the requests for support and discuss if and what we can support. We will score your project/work/request against our artist development criteria to determine the level of support we can provide to you, if any.

Once we’ve had this meeting and we’re all in agreement, we will get back to the artists with our decision and a detailed list of support we’re able to commit to you and your work.

These meetings will only take place monthly and therefore we encourage artists to be proactive in seeking support. If you miss the monthly deadlines then it won’t be until the following month that we’ll meet to consider, discuss and agree on the support available for your request. Due to our busy schedule and the large variety of work, we’re committed to supporting, we strongly encourage submitting requests as far in advance as possible, so we have plenty of time to gather the resources and make the enquiries we need to support your work.
