Artist Professional Development Workshop Oct 14 Register

We are continuing our Artist Professional Development Workshops with Grant Writing, with Visual Arts NS instructor Becka Barker online over Zoom Tuesday October 14, 6pm-8pm.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

This workshop focuses on writing convincing project descriptions for arts council creation grants, scholarship opportunities, and awards. The instructor will discuss how to position yourself and your practice in a way that supports your proposal and what jury members look for when reviewing submissions. The workshop will not cover aspects such as CVs or artist statements, and does not guarantee success, but aims to improve grant and proposal writing skills.
