HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN WHITE PEOPLE
A POST-INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH TO ARTIST GRANTS
+
HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN WHITE PEOPLE examines grantwriting as an activity charged by race, class, sex, and gender. Understanding that artist grants require multiple cultural competencies, this workshop will deconstruct application questions and demystify what artists are being asked to perform on the page.
The workshop begins by identifying what a grant is and to whom they are typically awarded, then end with some strategies for transforming individual grant applications into reusable materials. Participants will be asked to bring a sample question from a grant they are interested in applying for, along with a provisional answer to that question, which we will discuss as a group.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to use the strategies it outlines for other proposal-based applications — such as admissions essays and cover letters. Artists who are curious about improving their application materials are encouraged to enroll.
