Following the success of our inaugural grant writing workshops in 2007, we invite all artists who are even vaguely considering applying for public funding to attend this series.
Artsource is concerned about reports coming back from OzCo regarding low numbers and quality of applications for funding from WA artists. This workshop series will assist artists to best present themselves and their work within a very competitive environment.
Run over three sessions: a free introduction, followed by two practical sessions that will see your proposed application read and assessed by your peers (fellow work-shoppers), and rated according to the systems used by Ozco panels. These workshops are not for the faint hearted and will require a degree of maturity from the participants to ensure successful outcomes within the workshop. A professional code of conduct will be rigorously maintained throughout the process to ensure both impartiality and confidentiality.
ARTSOURCE COMMITMENT: All information provided by participants will be held in confidence by artsource and only shared with registered participants. All written material provided will be destroyed after the workshop and none of it will be taken from the room.
Numbers will be limited and bookings are essential for this workshop series. The initial briefing and overview will be free for artsource members, while a cost of $55 will be charged for the second and third sessions.

When: Sat 16 Feb – 10:00am - 12:00pm
