Description

'Funding Strategies for Artists' will help any
artist, at any phase of their career, understand
best practices in how to identify relevant funding
sources, apply for and secure funding for their
personal or creative goals. The first part of the
class helps students learn how to search for
grants, identify fit between funding sources and
their projects, and differentiate between
different forms of funding from foundations,
government entities, nonprofits, and corporations.
The second part of the class is a deeper dive into
helping students actually apply for a specific
funding opportunity. Students will be tasked with
assembling written materials and documentation to
apply for funding by the end of the course.
Feedback on materials will be given by peers in
class presentations and through the LMS (Learn) as
well as through a 1:1 meeting with the instructor.
