"I highly recommend every artist take Get Your GRANT Together, it has changed my life.
Within 6 months of completing the course, I've received one national award, one artist residency, and a
major grant."

- Michael Markowsky

In 2007, Michael won an individual artist's grant from the City of Pasadena as well as Robert Rauschenberg's 'Power of Art' award: the nation's highest honor for art teachers.

GET PAID TO
TAKE THIS CLASS!
Side Street Projects will give you $70 if you successfully complete our Get Your GRANT Together workshop. The Pasadena Art Alliance *just* gave us a grant for this workshop, and that means we're able to DRASTICALLY reduce the tuition for this hands-on (and hard-core) program. All you've got to do is successfully complete the course requirements, and we'll REFUND HALF YOUR TUITION on the last day of class.

Learn the art of proposal writing by completing a real grant application and have it reviewed by a panel of real experts, folks who actually evaluate artists' grant proposals for the City of Los Angeles' COLA Fellowship, the Rockefeller Foundation, The Getty, The Durfee Foundation, and more. What's "the hook?" Well, you get to sit-in and watch your proposal (and everyone else's) get reviewed by these arts professionals... the ultimate "fly on the wall" experience that will forever change how you write grants and and tackle proposals.

Major topics include:

The Framework of Today's Funding Culture for Individual Artists: Who funds individual artists, who doesn't, and why? Fiscal receivership, corporate support, etc.

Proposal Writing Individual Artists: Program/project planning, researching funding sources, elements of a proposal, objectives & outcomes, creating realistic project budgets, proposal planning grids, tips, helpful hints and handout, what goes on behind the closed doors of reviews panels, understanding how panels really function, etc.

Tuition includes digital lab access, editorial assistance with your proposal, and technical support producing your supplemental materials. Plus, you'll walk away from this experience with vetted boilerplates that can be cut & pasted into pretty much any grant application available for individual artists.
