The Weekend Academy works in partnership with groups, schools and colleges, and artists. We develop our projects and activities together with partners.
We work with our partners to prepare a budget and project outline and to discuss
applications to appropriate sources of funding.
We can support bids for Aim Higher funding.
We can develop joint projects with schools, colleges, and community groups
to apply for funding for a substantial project or series of sessions.
Please contact us for an initial discussion of your interests and ideas.
Opportunities for funders
The Weekend Academy offers funders an opportunity to become involved with a new and exciting project, which will bring tangible benefits to its participants. Funders’ support for these projects will give them the satisfaction of knowing that they have given potentially life-changing opportunities to people who participate in The Weekend Academy’s projects: young people of school age, disabled artists at a crucial stage in their careers, and people who have experienced exclusion.

exhibitions showcasing work made during artists’ residencies; exhibitions
of work produced by The Weekend Academy participants; and the annual Byam
