Note that this will be the LAST ROUND of classes before the end of the year, and the LAST ROUND before grant season starts**!
(**Usually considered around January 15th, pending what grant streams you plan to apply for)
We’re told as artists that we need to make our own work.
But making work takes money! And why is this such a big part of Canada’s current arts scene?
Have a GREAT project in mind, but unsure where to get the funding to get it off the ground?
Drawing from the last ten years of grant writing and more than 15 different granting streams and bodies, Victoria will share how to speak the hidden languages of corporate, government and math to fund and make the art we love.
This course largely draws on experiences from:
Canada Council for the Arts
Ontario Arts Council
Toronto Arts Council
British Council
Various Microgranting bodies, Foundations and Sponsors
It also teaches skills that apply across to multiple platforms and mediums, including Theatre, Film, Mixed Media, Literature, Visual Arts, Music, Communal Arts and Disability Arts.
Classes run in two, 2-h sessions, with one optional Consult Clinic for a hands-on approach to any applications/profiles that are currently being built.
They are currently $175 and do not require HST.
Artists can either bring projects that they are planning on submitting for their next grant deadline for feedback, or can use this time to brainstorm, set up profiles and test a “mock-version” of a project to develop their pitching-skills with feedback.
