laPinta

Training

The cultural sector transformation performed in the last decades has implied an increase in the number of projects and artistic productions as well as a higher demand of professionalism, efficiency and public-private co-responsibility.
Based on its experience in the field of visual arts, laPinta has initiated a training line of work. In this sense, we offer a set of courses that may help students to acquire those knowledge and methods that are necessary to produce efficiently artistic projects, looking up financing possibilities and organise the team work.

The main aim of these courses is to build up links between the teaching area and the artistic professional practice. The challenge is to provide students with the management tools in order to promote rigour and professionalism in the artistic production processes.

With these courses, laPinta wants to join to all those agents who are actively working for generating production standards and reach the full sector professionalism.

Co-production

Co-production seminar. An alternative to production

A co-production implies a set of artistic, economic and legal factors. Working in co-production makes it easier to get funding, permission and specific knowledge for the project development. It is really important to analyse each point in order to assess if the co-production is worthy of consideration.

Objectives

• To identify obligations and responsibilities for carrying out a co-production.
• To visualize advantages and disadvantages of co-production.
• To be able to work in co-production and identify possible scenes.

Contents

• Definition of artistic co-production
• Author vs. co-producer
• Legal aspects and negotiations
• Conditions for success.

Fundraising

Seminar on financing research

To look for financing sources is not just to look for money. An artistic project may mainly be financed by three spheres: public sector, private sector and third sector organizations.
