Grant Writing with Caspar Connolly

Brought to you by the SSAF

WHEN: Thursday 27 August, 1-3pm
WHERE: Meet at the Arts Lab, Level 1, Arts and Cultural Building, Monash Road, Building 159 (MAP), next to the George Paton Gallery. 
This workshop is fully booked. Please join our waitlist here.

This workshop, with artist Caspar Connolly, will teach how to write competitive grant applications for creative projects, covering artist statements, project descriptions, budgets, and timelines for funding bodies such as Creative Victoria and Creative Australia. The class will cover how assessment panels read and score applications, structuring a project description for clarity, and building a budget that holds up under scrutiny.

Participants will learn how to represent their practice and project in language that speaks to assessors rather than only to fellow artists, and consider how funding outcomes are shaped by the way a project is framed on the page. Understanding assessment criteria, budget construction, and how to communicate artistic merit and viability will be a key focus in the workshop.

This is directed towards grant writing beginners, but welcome to anyone.
