We applied to the Starter Fund to allow us to dedicate more time to develop as a studio and the opportunity to bring specialist skills into the team that we would not otherwise be able to access at this stage.Collaborating with talented specialists will help us gain experience, grow as a team, and develop how we work together on this and future projects.
For Our Kept Corners, this means bringing in the expertise needed to realize the project to its full potential. For Robust Arts it gives us the chance to strengthen industry relationships and forge the strong foundations of a sustainable studio.
