DRAW: Grantwriting

Writing successful grant proposals requires special skills. Informative and fun, this hands-on, interactive workshop will increase your grantwriting prowess whether you’re a novice or a pro. The workshop, presented by an artist who has worked with grants for his entire career, will blend the practical skills of the application process with insight from the grantmaking side.  As part of the class, participants will write and critique a grant proposal. The goal is to help you better communicate your ideas, plan your proposals with specific foundations in mind, and help your grants “sing.”  

This is part of the DRAW: Developing Resiliency in Artists + Writers series made possible with funding from the Madison Arts Commission.
