Getting that Grant! Workshop for Writers-- SK Arts Independent Artist Grant

The SK Arts Independent Artists programs provide grants of up to $18,000 to support writers’ creative work, research and professional development. Both emerging and established writers and spoken word artists can apply for support to attend retreats and writing programs, devote time to their writing projects, travel to undertake manuscript research or independently publish their literary books.

The Independent Artists Spring deadline is coming up on March 15^th so there’s still time to apply!

SK Arts Program Consultant Joanne Gerber will introduce the program, walk through the process of preparing a compelling application, explain terms and share insight on what review panels and juries need to know and what will throw them off.   

Learn how best to present your project to improve your chances of getting that grant!

Joanne will answer questions after her presentation.
