ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
In this six-week workshop, Artist Trust Program Director Brian McGuigan covers the essentials artists of all disciplines need to apply for grants, residencies, calls for submissions, and other opportunities. In-class exercises and discussion will help you better understand application processes, prepare application materials, and find the right opportunities for your work. At the end of the class, you'll have an artist statement, resume, biography, and other parts of a successful application, and be ready to pursue support for your work.
*This workshop is open to artists of all disciplines and is ideal for artists applying for Artist Trusts GAP Awards or other grants, residencies, and opportunities and for artists who would like to improve their artist statements and artist resumes, application skills, or portfolio components.
