Your Brilliant Idea As Fundable Project!

Develop your brilliant idea(s) into a clear,
strong, fundable, producible project proposal with
help from specialists in grant writing, budgeting,
feasibility, and production. Strongly encouraged
for students seeking CalArts support for spring
projects and beyond.

In this course we will focus on crafting
successful proposals for collaborative projects to
be produced on campus during the CalArts 50ish
Anniversary Reunion Weekend. We will cover all
aspects of proposal writing from describing your
project in a compelling narrative, to budgeting,
research synthesis, and production coordination
with facilities. This will be an opportunity for
students to be mentored by faculty and staff
across the institute. While using the 50ish
project proposal guidelines as our springboard,
these skills are 100% transferable for preparing
all your future funding requests.

EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS may include (pending approval
of project proposals): live and sound art,
site-specific performances and actions, public
interventions inside and outside the campus,
multi-media projections, sculptural and
environmental installations, curated film programs
and/or collaborative exhibitions. All brilliant
ideas welcome.
