Grant Seeker Workshops FY2019
Are you thinking about applying for an Arts Council grant? Attend a workshop between May 16 and 18.
These events are designed for both new and experienced grant writers. The day is divided into two parts: programs for organizations, and programs for individual artists.
Participants who attend both sessions will gain a complete understanding of the ways the Arts Council supports the arts and artists in Vermont. Grants discussed at these workshops will include the Arts Impact Grant for organizations, and Artist Development and Creation Grants for artists. Each session is ninety minutes long.
All workshops include an overview of program guidelines, group discussion, and written exercises. Participants will understand which of the Council’s grant programs best meet their needs and learn how to construct a competitive application.
