Protocol

• professionalise whilst having fun and making it a project
  
• operate on a four day week wherever possible
  
• record information on: good days vs bad days / earnings and outgoings / how long it takes for invoices to get paid / your menstrual cycle / all the applications you write and their successes or failures
• publish full submitted applications (successful and unsuccessful) with sensitive information redacted
  
• complete and publish ‘open call report cards’ for each application written, with no sensitive information redacted
  
• send these report cards to the institutions that published the open call in the hope of open calls being better in the future
  
• offer a series of free resouces for artists and cultural workers including the ‘open call report card’ template
  
• create space to ask questions, poke fun, be a pain in the arse, as long as it is in pursuit of a more equitable and enjoyable life in the arts
  
• not be too cynical
  
• learn to do bookkeeping, complicated budgets, write policies, and run Art Business Ltd as a proper company
• will wear the official uniform whenever working, for the entirety of the 2024-25 financial year*
• set up a pilot term of the Art Business Art Business School, a co-operative artist-led business school & open source workshop structure
  
• offer secret under-the-table services to artists (enquire within)
  
• cheerlead & make introductions for artists I like, especially those who are underrepresented, young, scared or overwhelmed
  
• destroy the institution by becoming the institution
• get rich or die trying
  
• not be afraid to talk about the art
  
• not apologise for making this art which is mainly for artists (it is not the only art we make)
