In August 2016, I published a simple \u201cACE cheatsheet\u201d that I had developed to help make sense of the Arts Council England\u2019s Grants For The Arts application process for neurodiverse artists that I had been working with over the preceding months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can find the downloadable version of the ACE Grants For The Arts Cheatsheet here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After sharing with my network (of artists and arts practitioners around the UK), the ACE Cheatsheet<\/a> picked up a lot of attention, shares and recommendations. Within a few days, a-n (the Artist Information Company – the largest artists\u2019 membership organisation in the UK with over 21,000 members) had started to cover the story<\/a> (in a number of articles online), sharing the cheatsheet more widely. A year on, that sharing continues (with a steady stream of thankful strangers getting in touch sporadically via social media) and the original post has racked up 10.5k views and 3000+ downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cheatsheet has also been re-posted online by Bristol City Council – Arts Development<\/a>, Vital Creative<\/a>, Plymouth Culture<\/a> & Creative Futures<\/a> amongst others. Artist Pete Ashton<\/a> even took the cheatsheet idea on to create a markdown version & shared on github<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks so much @racheldobbs1<\/a> for the @ace__london<\/a> Grants for the Arts cheat sheet! https:\/\/t.co\/gHcJ2CJuGj<\/a><\/p> \u2014 Artquest (@ARTQUESTLONDON) August 19, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nHere are some articles & coverage of the ACE cheatsheet:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
