Grant Seeker Workshops for FY2021
Are you thinking about applying for an FY2021 Arts Council grant? Attend a workshop between February 24 and March 10.
Designed for both new and experienced grant writers, these free workshops focus on Council grant programs opening for application in February: Artist Development and Creation Grants for artists; Arts Impact and Arts Partnership Grants for organizations, municipalities, and schools. Participants will gain an understanding of program guidelines, learn how to construct a competitive application, and have the opportunity to meet and ask questions of Council staff—Meredith Bell, Amy Cunningham, and Dominique Gustin.
About the Programs
- Artist Development Grants can fund activities that enhance mastery of an artist’s craft or skills or activities that increase the viability of an artist’s business. Application deadline: May 4, 2020
- Creation Grants support the creation of new work by Vermont artists. These grants can fund time, materials, or space rental for artists and artist groups. Application deadline: April 13, 2020
