- Your Own Application!
Session 1 // March 1, 2022 – Where We Stand + Writing About Your Work – learn about the foundational pieces of writing you should have in your pocket.
Session 2 // March 8, 2022 – Creating Your Budget – review budget considerations for your work, discuss equitable pay standards for artists, and leave with a project budget template for future proposal use.
Session 3 // March 15, 2022 – Support Materials – hear about the importance of powerful work samples & how to make one, plus review the list of ancillary materials often requested by grantmakers
Attending all three sessions is required, with a little homework in between.

Participants are encouraged to come prepared with an active project idea, along with a prospective source of support.
