Essential Tools for Grant Writing (in collaboration with NYFA)
This workshop will cover the essential materials that all artists need to have readily available when applying for grants. We will discuss personal bios, artist statements, resumes and CVs, press clips and work samples. The workshop will combine in-class exercises, lecture and discussion, so participants are expected to come prepared to work on their own materials. Presenter Aaron Landsman is a playwright, actor, and teacher who has taught at The Juilliard School and NYU, developed a workshop for the Creative Capital Foundation that is taught nationwide, and published writing in several journals. We ask that participants possess a basic knowledge of grant-seeking tactics.
Workshop is limited to 30 participants on a first come, first served basis.
