Grants are free money that is awarded to someone to fund a particular endeavour or project. There is no shortage of free money being awarded if you know where to look.
I found that in an article while searching for other funding sources : http://www.ehow.co.uk/list_6700324_travel-grants-artists.html
They do make it sound so easy don’t they?
I, in the meantime, have been continuing to write what really amounts to ‘begging letters’. We’ve had some promising feedback, but it really is an energy draining task.
This afternoon, I’m going to write to some local newspapers to see if they will help.
There has been a lot to do in the last few weeks, so as we’ve been chasing up various funding bodies…or getting our artists to supply images of their work ( now – why is that so difficult??) ..writing proposals for future exhibitions, doing art work ..all while holding down full time jobs…. writing the a-n blog has sort of slipped.
I really will try to update more often.
