Grant-writing for Success!

What might otherwise be a confusing chore becomes simple, creative and rewarding in this workshop.  We will review everything you need to know about putting together, writing and submitting a grant under the new funding models at federal and provincial arts councils.  In addition to outlining the Who, What and Why of your project, your application needs to pitch your story in the right way to the panel of jurors. Hear surprising insights into how a jury makes decisions. These will give you tips for making your application strong and convincing.

Bonus: this will fire up your studio practice in exciting new ways. This is a win/win!

There will be some fun exercises to begin drafting your own grant applications. You will receive individual and group support from our facilitator, Bev Pike. Pens and paper will be available.  If you need specific accommodations, let us know ahead of time.
