For artists

Your work deserves to be backed.

We look for the people and places that can support you, keep the open calls worth your time in one place, and sit down with you to plan what comes next. Every request is read by one of us, never by a machine alone.

01 · Find my patron

Let us find who could back your work

Tell us about you and what you dream of making. We study your work and send you a plan made for you:

  • The supporters that fit you: your medium, your country, your goal
  • Why each one fits, the way in and what to ask for
  • A first email you can adapt and send
  • Checked by one of us before it reaches you

We only suggest organisations (foundations, arts councils, brands, hotels and venues), never private individuals.
