No more procrastinating – write that grant!
When: Tuesday, October 8, 2024 | 3:00-8:00pm
Where: Inter Arts Matrix’s Studio #38, Globe Studios, 141 Whitney Pl. Kitchener, ON N2G 2X8
Free: No charge – everyone is welcome. Donations to Inter Arts Matrix are appreciated.
If you have a project you are trying to fund, why not set aside some time to figure out the funding and start writing the applications in the company of other artists and producers?
Drop in any time between 3:00 and 8:00pm.
You'll be able to circulate and see who is also working in the room, join them at their table, or sit down with an on-site advisor. We might be able to help you find a suitable grant for your project. We can give you a hand getting an on-line profile with a granting body. If you need help drawing up a budget or a timeline, articulating your project, its viability or impact, we can advise you.
Writing a grant application makes you a better artist.
Seriously: you have to articulate what you want to do; figure out who you are going to work with and where; make a timeline and a budget. And if you receive the grant you actually have to do the project - make art. The more art you make, the better you get as an artist – QED.
