Hi Everyone....I know I don't post
as much as I used to. It's been a hard year and I'm tired. Doing my
best....But here are a few things that came down the pike this past
month. I apologize to those of you who sent me notices about grants and
residencies to post. I just can't do it every single week now. Before I
forget—please check out this link to Ashland University if you have an
hour or so to watch me talk about opportunities, grants, residencies,
grant writing tips, fellowships etc.: http://mediasite.ashland.edu/mediasite/Viewer/?peid=50697fe9cf79492fb595a6de2f509e5e1d
Below are a few odds and ends...
Cheers,

others in the arts) to pursue their professional, educational, and artistic

and bustle of everyday life in Edgartown, Massachusetts–– one week minimum, one
month maximum. Grants cover room and board (personal chef services) plus
reasonable transportation expenses. The foundation will review the financial
circumstances of applicants and will make grants to women who could not

necessitated by a care-giver's absence, as well as goal related expenses or
materials relevant to the purpose of the grant.
