The Work of Art: Funding Your Practice

Artists often feel like funding is a mystery, but it’s really a system with patterns you can learn. This session demystifies the grant landscape and gives you practical tools to identify the right opportunities, write stronger applications, and build a sustainable funding strategy for your practice. We’ll explore where money actually comes from, how to evaluate fit, and what funders look for in narratives, budgets, and work samples. You’ll leave with clear next steps, approachable templates, and a deeper understanding of how to resource your creative work with confidence.
