FREE w/RSVP
Looking to submit to some upcoming grant deadlines but don’t know where to start? Maybe this is your first time writing an application grant, or you’re looking to learn on how to streamline your grant writing process?
Join Fresh Arts and Reyes Ramirez, an Idea Fund and HAA grant award recipient and writer, for an introductory presentation on best practices when composing and applying for artist project grants. This 90-minute workshop will focus primarily on the elements of writing a project proposal summary. This summary can then be used as an anchor text that can be adapted and expanded upon to address other sections of a grant application.
Our goal with this workshop is to help local artists gain a basic understanding of the proposal writing process and to highlight some important and attainable grants administered locally such as the Idea Fund and Houston Arts Alliance’s grant program. Even if you do not plan to submit any proposals this fall/winter, this workshop will be a fantastic opportunity to develop your strategies for framing your work and learn about other local resources to help you on your grant writing journey.
This workshop is free with RSVP. Seating is limited.
