Option 1
Sign up for Option 1 and you'll learn the basics of writing
an effective grant proposal from the one-and-only Judith Teitelman: LA's
most candid, experienced, and entertaining expert on
an otherwise boring (but crucial) topic. If all you're looking for is
stimulating discussion, cool hand-outs, and some helpful exercises,
sign up for Option
1.
"Within
6 months of completing the course, I've received one
national award, one artist residency, and a major grant.
I learned more practical information in a month than
in the 7 years I pursued my BFA and MFA, no joke."
-
In 2007, Michael
Markowsky applied for and
won a $4,000 grant from the City of
Pasadena, as well as The Robert Rauschenberg
Foundation's Power of Art award. |
>
Option 2
Need a good kick in the pants? Option 2 gets you everything
from Option 1, plus... we'll help you complete a real grant
application that'll be reviewed by a panel of real experts
— folks who are asked sit on grant panels
and review artist proposals all the time, like LACMA curator
Rita Gonzalez and Barnsdall Art Park gallery director Mark
Greenfield.
What's
the hook? You get to watch the panel review your proposal (and
everyone else's) in real-time. And, you even get to ask them
questions afterwards. It's the ultimate "fly-on-the-wall" experience.
Option 2 includes:
- FREE on-site
use of our Mobile Digital Lab, including Macbook™ laptops,
Epson™ slide scanners, Adobe CS™ design
software, Cannon™ digital SLR cameras,
and more.
- FREE editorial
assistance with your proposal & budget.
- FREE technical
support producing your supplemental materials
(Powerpoint slideshows, DVDs, page layout,
etc.)
- Plus,
you'll end up with a finished, vetted grant
application that's ready to submit for funding.
We'll provide you with a range of funders to
choose from. Or, bring your own application
to work on. Applications for residency programs
okay, too.
Sorry,
but this workshop is designed for contemporary
visual artists. Only 16 artists will be allowed to sign up for Option
2. |

Created
by artist, curator, and
legendary CalArts professor Karen
Atkinson, Get
Your SH*T Together (GYST)
is our often-imitated
survival workshop for
emerging artists, and for artists
who've been
"emerging" longer than
they expected. Over 400 artists
have graduated from GYST since
2002.
GYST teaches you
the business stuff you should've
learned in art school, but didn't.
GYST values self-sufficiency
and presents you with information,
tactics, and strategies to make
things happen for yourself without
necessarily waiting around for
some arbiter of culture to validate
your work. We're not concerned
with producing slick, commercialized
artists, nor is this some new
age, touchy-feely "find
your inner artist" crap.
GYST is a program for artists, by artists
that will teach you bare-knuckled,
practical strategies for negotiating
the baffling terrain of the contemporary
art world.
"Two
weeks after finishing GYST,
I had a studio visit from
Robert Berman. Because I
had recently gotten my sh*t
together, I was able to send
him a portfolio before the
visit. I think it really
helped - he offered me a
solo show. Thanks, GYST!
Really, thank you. I mean
it."
-
Alumni Cameron
Gray had his
first solo show
(ever) in 2007
at the renowned
Robert Berman
Gallery and sold
several large
canvases. He's currently
represented by Berman, and
his new solo
show runs through
August 2008. |
Over 8-weeks,
you'll create and refine
your presentation
materials with the full editorial and technical support of Side Street Project's
staff & digital
lab (resume, artist statement, portfolio, press materials, hand-outs, etc.).
GYST culminates with some good old fashioned Curator Speed Dating. Get
real-world feedback from some of the area's hottest curators, like
LA Times Art Critic David Pagel, LACE Director Carol Stakenaus and
Christopher Russell from the Getty Research Institute.
GYST students
also get a copy of the new GYST CD
ROM (v.2.6), chock full of organizing
tools & tracking
software every artist needs. |

Need
an effective and professional web
presence for your art career? You
got 4 choices:
- Pay
someone to design a traditional
website for you (remember: you
get what you pay for).
- Ask
your friend's snot-nosed kid to
build you a free website (remember:
you get what you pay for).
- Build
a website yourself the "old fashioned
way," after spending $1,500 on
software that you don't know
how to use (don't
forget the $400 for upgrades
every 2 years).
- Build
yourself a professional
on-line presence using
the new "Web
2.0" generation
of free & easy "social networking"
tools.
Unless
you're a masochist, the correct answer
is #4. It also happens to be the
motivation for Side Street's
new survival workshop for artists.
Let fellow artist and certified
web-maven D. Jean Hester show
you the brave & easy
new world of the Web, which is
all about immediacy, simplicity,
community, and networking.
A lot has changed in the past
two years. More people are producing
& distributing on-line content than
ever before. Everyone is
a media outlet, but it's not because
everyone (but you) has become
a web professional.
It's because new tools have
made the mass
amateurization of media
possible. If history is made
by those who show up, then
you better watch out, because
here comes everybody.
Get Your Web 2.0 Together will
cover the philosophical
and strategy stuff first,
then we'll dive right into things
like:
- Blogs
and on-line content management
systems like WordPress, among
others
- Photo & video
sharing sites like Flickr, YouTube,
and Vimeo
- Social
networking sites perfect for
artists, such as Facebook,
Linked-In, Über,
ArtSlant, Twitter, and (yes)
even MySpace, which was voted
by PC Magazine as the "World's
Worst Website."
- Plus
a whole slew of free resources
for artists that can only
be found on
line.
This
class ain't all talk.
Hardly. You'll pull out a laptop
and build an integrated web presence
right then and there in the classroom,
using both free and/or premium
services available on-line. You
can bring your own laptop, or borrow
one of ours. When you go home (or
for that matter, anywhere in the
world with a computer and web connection)
you can easily update
your professional web presence
without the need for expensive
software.
Tuition includes
free technical assistance and on-site
use of Side Street Projects'
Mobile Digital Lab for the duration
of the workshop (by appointment
Mondays through Saturdays,
10am-6pm).
Novice, intermediate, and advanced
users welcome. |

Recent
success stories from recent workshop alumni:
In
just the past 2 years, our workshop alumni
have won over $18,000 in grants,
including:
• Taz Yisrael received a project grant from the City of Santa Monica shortly
after completing our workshop.
• Chuck Feesago & Emily de Araujo both won a 2008 artist grant from
the City of Pasadena shortly after taking our workshops.
• David Lovejoy and Michael Markowsky both won a 2007 artist grant from
the City of Pasadena shortly after taking our workshops.
This
past spring, Ari
Kletzky was the subject
of an extensive article on the front
page of the LA
Times Sunday Arts
section. His featured
Islands
of LA project was developed
over the course of our GYST & WEB
workshops. Kletzky (who has a BA
in business) recently quit his day-job
at a loan agency and was accepted
into the CalArts MFA art program.
He begins classes this fall.
Shortly after taking GYST, Cameron
Gray got
his first solo show (ever) at the
Robert
Berman Gallery in
Bergamot Station. The opening was standing-room
only and Cameron sold several large pieces.
Cameron is now represented by Robert Berman.
Cameron's current solo show of "manufactured
art" runs through August. |

"...the inside word (from somebody that teaches at a major local art institution)
is that the grant writing info and inventory management system that are included
are worth the price all by themselves."
