WORKSHOP: How to Get a Project Grant

Posted on by
20 August 2014 – 6:00-8:00pm
401 Richmond St. W (4th floor), Toronto
Free

The Toronto Arts Council supports visual and media artists for time-limited projects, covering costs related to creation/production, subsistence, and materials. In this free workshop/discussion, Peter Kingstone (Toronto Arts Council’s Visual/Media Arts Officer) will guide you through the necessary steps to get a grant, including tips and strategies for incorporating storytelling, knowing your audience, articulating your trajectory, and providing effective documentation. This will be followed by an informal discussion on what is needed for a grant, addressing specific questions on difficulties that might arise when translating work to a jury.

Participants will also have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one sessions with Peter, to go over project ideas and proposals.

Read more about the Toronto Arts Council’s visual and media arts grants, here.

This session is free and open to everyone, but space is limited. Register here.
