Festivals and Live Events Workshop
Unit C
Unit C is the final practical unit of your workshop, and does not contain lesson texts or videos. Instead, you will put your skills to use in a hands-on case study. You’ll develop the groundwork for your own festival, completing the planning process from designing a concept to selecting a site and researching partners for your event. Research sponsorship and grants, and explore the various roles available in the festival and public event planning industry.
Your Assignments:
- Concept-Building
- Festival Programming
- Site Selection
- Vendor Selection
- Partner Selection
- Corporate Sponsorships
- Grant Proposal Writing
- Permit Application
Here are some examples of the practical assignments you’ll complete:
- Practice designing a concept for a new festival in your area
- Identify attractive sponsorship opportunities for local festivals
- Research and list grants that your festival would be eligible for
