Last year's Fringe programme brought awareness to the increasing pressure of operating in a depleted funding landscape and charged political climate. Artists are feeling the pinch and having to make difficult decisions about if and how their practice moves forward.

In response, we are offering 15 local creatives the opportunity to participate in a fully funded 1-day training programme (normal cost £150 per person). Supported by Arts Council England.

The training is a collaboration between Folkestone Fringe and Lindsay Stockley, a certified business coach, senior arts professional and the founder of Culture Rise.
