- What Our Students Said About This Workshop!
“Linda’s generous sharing of real-world grantwriting experiences and art-world insights will undoubtedly be a value to me for years to come. I highly recommend this works to any personal seeking grant support to help manifest their artistic vision.”
“This workshop demystified the grantwriting process. Vallejo provides an extremely clear and well-structured outline of the process, including humorous and on-point anecdotes.”
“I especially appreciated the point-by-point explanation of how artists must be clear on why they do their work, and how thoroughly they need to think about history and intention. The personal anecdotes help immensely. I can’t thank Linda enough for distilling an enormous topic, so we can have a serious edge and achieve our goals.”
“In my quiet participation, I feel that I’ve achieved my goal in continuing to include grantwriting as a necessary element toward my career as an artist. I expected honest opinions about the art world and grantwriting, and I got it from Linda Vallejo. Linda demystifies the grantwriting process in a touch, loving way that I deeply appreciated.”
“This workshop is indispensable in learning the specific steps involved in grantwriting and application process. I learned the important of a well-articulated artists statement and tailoring your information to each type of grant for which you qualify.”
“I’ve applied for grants and was a finalist for a sustainable arts grant a couple of years ago, but I wanted to fine-tune it. Now I know where I need to expand and clean-up. Thank you! I needed to know what I didn’t know I didn’t know!”
“It was extremely helpful to review how we discuss our work. The ‘why’ in an artist’s statement is critical but hard to define. Our discussion helped clarify it and how to capture our work in words. Linda’s example of the ‘dimension stack’ is a compelling concept nd useful in describing what is unique about our work.”
“I learned that it’s not enough to just make the art. I also must ask myself questions such as ‘why I make art?’ The answers may not come easy, and therefore I need to spend more time thinking and doing research.”
