Free Grant Writing Workshops
Region 2 Arts Council Executive Director, Terri Widman, will offer free grant writing workshops for anyone interested in applying for an Arts Project Grant, Individual Artist Grant, or an Anishinaabe Arts Initiative Grant. Applicants must live in the Region 2 area which includes Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Lake of the Woods, and Mahnomen counties. These workshops will familiarize applicants with the application process, what projects are eligible, how to develop a project budget and other tips.
The Arts Project grant writing session will be open to any non-profit organization, school (including community education offices), and units of government. These grants offer funding for a variety of art projects including costs related to performances or exhibitions, engagement of guest artists, and artists-in-residence.
The Individual Artist grant writing session will be open to artists in all art disciplines. These grants offer funding for costs associated with the exhibition, performance, or production or a creative work; purchase of materials or equipment necessary for a creative work; educational opportunities; mentorships; and proposals for career-enhancing projects or opportunities.
The Anishinabe Arts Initiative Grant is open to individual Native American artists, schools who wish to bring in a Native American artist-in-residence, and communities to assist an organization in sponsoring or producing an arts project.
ADVANCE REGISTRATION is required. To reserve a place in a free workshop or for further information, please call 218-751-5447 or 1-800-275-5447 or email r2arts@paulbunyan.net.
