Funding Beyond Grants
Online Workshop for Visual & Performing Artists
As artists we tend to prioritize grants, but there are other avenues for pursuing revenue and soliciting financial support to fund our projects.
In this workshop, we’ll look at some case study examples of artists creatively securing funds for their projects and explore how you might look beyond grants to fund your own projects.

In this workshop, attendees will:

– walk through a “grant proposal to-do list” that outlines all the pieces of text you will need to research, write, and edit to apply for grants,
– leave with a grant proposal template to input text and create a master document that can be adapted to various grant applications.
