ArtyParti - Your Artistic Identity #6

An informal workshop-based event with creative professional development at its heart. This time, we're focusing on bid & grant writing. This event series is about developing your voice as a creative practitioner. We’ll work together collaboratively to create material useful for articulating your practice. You’ll leave with a tighter focus on describing your artistic voice. With collaborative tasks and iterative feedback woven in, we’ll put pen to paper to find and hone your artistic voice - writing material useful for biographies, websites, social media, artist statements, bid applications, etc. This month, with a guest facilitator, we're focusing on bid-writing for funding and grant applications, to give you confidence in answering questions and meeting general criteria when applying for funding in how you articulate your aims, ambitions, and existing practice.
