Our fellows took part in a Grant Writing Workshop by Yona Backer. The Workshop was organised by ARTWORKS and was hosted at the Contemporary Greek Art Institute iset on 14.09.2018.

The workshop covered all aspects of Grant Writing for artists working in all disciplines with the goal of giving confidence and a clear road map when applying for grants. It covered the essential elements of proposal writing, including how best to describe the artist’s work, create context, and make a compelling case for funding. The workshop also addressed how artists can choose the best work samples when applying for grants, review website and social media presence to present their best digital self.
