One-off donations of a few pounds or regular donations of as little as £2p/m can make a big difference to an artists' career. All money raised through Small Change goes directly to artists, through our Artists' Bursary Scheme, which offers money, space and support to artists with great potential.

Situation
Artsadmin is a charity and receives about 50% of its annual operating budget from Arts Council England. Many of our projects & activities are only made possible through additional support. Artsadmin recognises that artists need dedicated time & space in order to research & create strong work. Opportunities for artists to experiment without emphasis on outcomes are very few. We receive over 250 application on average each year reflecting the demand for this source of support.
Solution
Small Change will fund bursaries that safeguard open-ended & invaluable creative freedom. Small Change will run in addition to Artsadmin's core fundraising activity to support artists to work through new ideas, research in an unpressurised way, & to show new work to the public. "Artists are the ones who take risks, push boundaries & challenge our preconceptions. Our role is to help them to do it" Judith Knight MBE, Founding Director of Artsadmin
