  • 7:00pm – 9:30pm
  • MAWA, 611 Main Street

What happens once you submit a grant? Be mystified no longer! Understand the process of arts council funding. Diana Thorneycroft will lead a discussion on the way an arts council jury works, including the selection of the jury members and the dynamics that play out during the decision-making process. In the last part of the evening, you will participate in a mock jury yourself, revealing the joys and challenges that are integral to the granting system.
