Where does the money go?
Underscore Studios is unfunded and comprised of three volunteers. We believe that upskilling yourself should be affordable, engaging, and transparent. The money towards Workshops such as these means that we can keep them as low as they are, pay our Freelance Workshop leaders, support the organisation to be sustainable, and when we can, make more of our services available for Free.
**
We are aware that even the cost of a concession ticket may be a key barrier for many people.

Bursary places such as these, will be offered on a first come first serve basis.
