Hi everyone....sorry I have been out of touch lately. Lots is going on....but I thought I better give you guys something to chew on for a while lest you yell at me for being a slacker! And by the way, remember when I said that the Creative Capital grant letter of inquiry would be a breeze? Well, it was REALLY HARD. The letter was actually a long application of sorts. That's what I've been doing this past week. But you know what? It was well worth it. As I have said in previous posts, it's always good to do these things if you are up for them because they help you define what you want. And then you can also use that template for other grants. Plus, it's a fantastic organization and I can't say enough good things about them, whether or not they give me a grant. The deadline in tomorrow but next year the grant is for visual artists and something else (can't remember at the moment).
One more thing—don't forget about the Mira's List 2012 Art Contest!! Deadline is March 31 to win $500 and have your work looked at by curators and it is as easy as pie to enter. For more info, guidelines, etc, go here: http://www.miraslist.com/p/contests.html
Cheers!
