The Artimelt Academy is a new support programme for arts organisations and individuals, who wish to develop knowledge and ideas for digital and social media funding and support programmes such as Channel 4’s 4iP programme, Grants for the Arts from Arts Council England and Crossover Labs. The Academy will consist of mentored research trips to an exciting and varied range of inspirational events, seminars and conferences, opportunities for peer group support and development of ideas and applications through Academy camps and advice sessions and a £1500 development award to buy in specialist consultancy to assist with applications.

The programme is shaping up to be a fantastic opportunity to attend some of the most interesting and exciting events in the coming months including; We Love Technology, The Story, De:Code and The Guardian Media Summit, as well as an overnight camp at the Hotel du Vin in Harrogate which will include magic and mystery from Stuart Nolan and a 4iP Masterclass from Lucy Wurstlin and Claire Hancock (4iP Commissioners).
