Grant Writing with Yvette Cenerini

  • Saturday, January 20, 2018
  • 10:00am – 4:00pm
  • Creative Manitoba, 245 McDermot Avenue

Presented in partnership with Creative Manitoba

In this dynamic, fun and participatory workshop, you will learn how to write a grant for your individual art practice, including how to prepare a budget, résumé, artist statement and project proposal. There will be important discussions about ways to best present yourself and your idea to a panel of unknown assessors: what to do, what not to do and how to select the best possible support materials. As this workshop aims to be as relevant as possible, please come prepared to share a general introduction to your art practice and your project idea with the group. Many of the elements of good grant writing are the same for exhibit/project proposals, so this workshop will be invaluable in helping you prepare for these as well. Get yourself organized and promote your practice!

$30 for members of MAWA or CM; $55 for non-members. To register and pay, contact: [email protected], call 204-927-2787 or visit creativemanitoba.ca

  • Yvette Cenerini is a Franco-Métis artist who has participated in group shows in Manitoba, Québec and Ontario and has had a solo exhibition at La Maison des artistes, Winnipeg. Her work in paint and photocollage is characterized by the use of animal-as-subject. It examines the intricacies of emotion through a simple aesthetic, laden with sarcastic undertones. Cenerini is currently interested in the amalgamation of collage and new media to depict the notion of dependency. She is a graduate of MAWA’s Foundation Mentorship Program.
