Free Grant Writing Workshops
Free Grant Writing Workshops
Tri-County Arts Council Hosts FREE Event July 27th and August 15th
OLEAN — The Tri-County Arts Council will be having two free Grant Writing Tips for Artists and Arts and Culture Organizations workshops in Cuba and Olean. These workshops have been developed with assistance from Yuki Numata Resnick, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo and Holly Grant, Arts Services Inc.
The first workshop will be “Grant Writing for Intermediate”, on Thursday, July 27 from 10am - 6pm at TCAC at 110 W State Street Olean. We are defining Intermediate, as we will focus on learning how to tell your organization's story in an impactful way, which is a skill specific to operating grants. Best for participants who have submitted at least 5 grant applications and have found success in receiving grants.
The second workshop will be “Grant Writing for Beginner”, on Tuesday August 15 from 10am - 6pm at The Palmer Opera House at 12 West Main Street, Cuba. We are defining Beginner, as we will spend more of our time on the basic mechanics of grant writing and demystify what goes on behind the curtain in funding decisions. Best for participants who have written fewer than 5 grant applications or have never submitted a successful grant application.
These in-person workshops will be led by Holly Grant and are for artists and culture organizations with dedicated arts and culture programming. These workshops are free to artists and organizations with a light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages provided to all participants provided by The Perfect Blend Coffeehouse & Eatery. Space is limited – up to 10 spots available per workshop. Workshop material is based on general operating grant applications with a specific focus on the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo’s Arts & Culture Initiative. Participants must attend the full workshop and will leave the workshop with a working first draft of a grant application and a community of like-minded artists and organizations!
