Artist Bootcamps Writing the Grant with Liz Barron Saturday, January 24, 2015, 10am-4pm (bring a lunch!) ACI Manitoba, third floor, 245 McDermot Ave.
In this dynamic, participatory workshop, you will learn how to create a grant for your individual art practice, how to create a budget, how to manage and report on the grant once you get it. There will also be a discussion regarding the importance of artist fees and CARFAC. If you don’t know about CARFAC, this will be a great opportunity to find out about all of the resources, advocacy and fee guidelines they provide. By the end of the day, you will be ready to create an individual grant application and tools for responding to calls for submissions.
