IdeasTap is a pretty nifty little resource for creative types, particularly those under 30. In times characterised by a sharp drop in the amount of Arts Council funding available for creative companies and projects, this organisation seems to have opportunity after opportunity for creatives to state their case and potentially receive some cash. There is a £30K cash injection available from Sky Arts for five individuals to receive in order to create new projects, £10K for an Edinburgh Festival show plus jobs, paid internships and free classes/sessions based in and about the arts sector.
The website also offers you a platform on which to showcase your own work so far and it's this that I'm attaching here today. This is really a work in progress but I hope it may well become a great resource for me in the future regarding jobs, funding applications and more.
