ABOUT THE MENTORSHIP
Do you need assistance with making an arts grant application? Do you want to understand the submission process and improve your odds of being successful?
Rick Miller can help you navigate the labyrinthine arts council application process.
Whether you’re an emerging artist making your first application or an established creative submitting an annual request, Rick can help you understand how to increase the likelihood of an arts jury deciding to fund your project.
While these are challenging times to be artist, getting an arts grant can still be a way to fund your dream project. However, making your first application can be intimidating and confusing. As a mentor it is Rick’s objective to help you feel comfortable making your own application.
You also need to have identified a specific grant they want to apply for. Mentoring must start at least one month before the application deadline
You need basic computer skills, access to the internet, a high-school level of literacy in English or French
Please note that if you’re concerned solely about your writing, then Professional Writing Support might be for you. Similarly, if you need help developing your creative ideas then Developing Your Practice would be better for you.
