The possible topics for consultation are:

1. Submission of projects to the Lithuanian Council for Culture, Vilnius City Municipality, Lithuanian Institute of Culture, various foreign cultural foundations, and individual scholarships. Applications to LATGA and AGATA.

2. Monetization of activities – our experience in releasing music albums, merchandise, and cooperation with intermediaries. Concert organization, budget and expense planning. Working with a team – constant effort to communicate and listen to each other with a wide variety of professionals (designers, photographers, stylists, sound engineers, cameramen, directors, journalists, musicians, lighting technicians, etc.).

3. Participation in fairs and showcases. Musicians regularly participate in fairs that bring together professionals in the field. We will talk about the other side of these events, i.e., preparing for them, what artists usually don't do, why they don't produce the desired results, and what can be done to ensure that the efforts put in yield results.

4. What is a Culture Pass? Why is it worthwhile for artists to participate in this program, and what should you know about this program before applying?

5. Renting works or partnering with other creators/organizations.

6. The importance of communication in an artist's life. How to prepare press releases and other texts and attract media interest.

Up to 4 hours per month are available for group or individual consultations.
