Figurative’s philanthropy development team, Figurative Philanthropy for Arts & Culture (FPAC; formerly New Philanthropy for Arts & Culture) is hosting its first national conference in Birmingham.

With a keynote speech from Sir Peter Bazalgette on why philanthropy should be a vital part of every arts organisation’s financial mix, the programme will bring together our regional project partners across England, from Sunderland to Hastings, for an afternoon of discussion, networking and sharing best practice.

We’ll explore why philanthropy is a good option for all cultural organisations – not just those with well-developed fundraising departments – and discuss how working together, particularly on place-based partnerships, can benefit all of us and grow the amount of finance available in the sector.

Tickets are free. Visit the booking page for further details and programme notes.
