Budget Basics
w/ Richard Royer 

Monday, December 7 12pm-1:30pm
The Spark of Hudson, 520 Union St, Hudson NY

Join our Grants Coordinator Richard Royer for a practical introduction to budget basics for artists. This workshop will cover how to build a clear, realistic project budget; identify common income and expense categories; and use simple strategies to make your budget support your project goals. Participants will have time to ask questions and work in small breakout groups on their own project budgets. While the SCR Grant Application Budget Form will be used as a working template, artists at any stage of a project—and those preparing budgets for other opportunities—are welcome.

An in-person workshop where you write your SCR grant (with help!)

Do you need a time and place to sit down and work on your SCR grant? Do you do better with a structure or a group setting? Want someone to break down the application for you and get you started writing? This session is for you!

Artist, grant writer, and consultant Andrea Kleine will walk you through the application and help you write a rough draft of your proposal.
