Illustrator's Guide to Grants: Workshop Edition

By Guild of Natural Science Illustrators

Grant writing may seem outside the realm of your typical independent illustrator. But with guidance and writing prompt exercises, it might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for to jumpstart that creative project you’ve always wanted to tackle.
DeGrace draws on her considerable experience securing grants to revitalize the downtown of her native New Bedford, MA, to offer us insight into where to look, how to present your mission, and consider partnerships that may ultimately land you your dream project.
This workshop will be split into parts with lectures and guided prompts. All students will receive a packet to jump-start a full proposal and some may share their responses for in-class feedback.
Registration
$50.00
Course materials
Printed packet of exercises for guided prompts that will be emailed to each student prior to  the class.
