Katapult is an independent, not-for-profit project, and depends on the income from workshops and residencies to cover the costs of rent and administration. As the core team are artists ourselves, we know it can be a struggle to find ways to pay for the necessary time and space both for creation and for ongoing training.
Here, we offer some starting points for how to go about finding support for your work.
