Workshop: Artist Applications

This 1 day workshop will provide insight on how to prepare your application for grants, residencies, schools, and other artist programs.

We’ll cover how to approach writing project proposals and budgets, artist statements, and how to organize your materials in a way that is professional and cohesive.

Whether you have no experience applying to artist programs, or many years, we will provide up to date information that is customized to what will be most effective for your studio practice.

“The format & flow of the workshop worked really well. The small group, one-on-one coaching / critique, and Discord chat.

Prof Lieu’s seasoned ability to listen & hold space for all the participants is clearly felt throughout the process, from signing up, the actual voice call part of the workshop and the follow up week in the Discord.”

How it Works

Resources

• We recommend reviewing our Pro Development area.

Before the workshop

• Students receive access to the workshop channels in our Discord.
• Hang out in the workshop channels so we can see your artwork and site, and chat about your goals can make the workshop more efficient.

• Please know that if you have no experience with Discord, it does take some time to get set up and learn how Discord works.
• Watch this 53 second tour of our Discord for a preview.
• We highly recommend joining several days before the workshop date so you can learn the ropes, troubleshoot any problems, and get help from us to make the workshop run as smoothly as possible for you.

During the workshop

• Each student speaks on voice with Prof Lieu, while showing their websites, or images of their artwork if they don’t have sites.
• While Prof Lieu and a student are on voice, other students in the workshop make suggestions and interact with each other in the workshop channel.
• There is a Q&A and discussion period where anyone can be on voice.

After the workshop

• A recording of the workshop will be available to workshop participants. The recording will not be available to the public.

Workshop channels access

• Students will continue to have access to the workshop channels.
• The week following the workshop, Prof Lieu will provide feedback and follow up resources.
• After that week, Prof Lieu will answer quick questions, but will not be providing feedback.

“I love the feedback from the instructor and classmates. It’s so much fun to be able to interact and socialize while we are all making art at once.

I learn so much from others and even about myself and what works for me as an artist!”
