This two-part mini-series is designed to help artists gain the necessary business know-how to start their ventures on the right foot. It focuses on essential grant-writing techniques, including crafting a persuasive “pitch,” budgeting, timelines, and other handy tips to help you turn out grant applications that are as strong and outstanding as your work. Develop your artistic practice or business strategically in order to see real growth now.

Part 1: The Pitch
Wednesday, June 11: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Your art has potential - now you must represent it on paper in a way that will captivate the reader. In the first part of this series, you’ll learn how to craft a compelling, context-rich pitch that jumps off the page to effectively illustrate the true value of your art project. Starting with an essential grant-writing check-list, you'll understand how to represent your work with clarity and persuasion.

Part 2: Budgets and Timelines
Wednesday, June 18: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

All winning grant applications include cohesive, well-thought-out budgets and timelines that accurately illustrate the project from both a time and financial perspective. In this session, we'll focus on developing a set of best practices for crafting budgets and timelines that enhance your future grant applications and drive results.
