HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN WHITE PEOPLE — GRAHAM FOUNDATION SESSION I
SESSION I
August 17, 2024
SESSION II
August 24, 2024
These workshop-seminars will prepare participants to apply for a 2024 individual artist grant through the Graham Foundation using our signature HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN WHITE PEOPLE framework. Drawing from research the studio conducted last year, which resulted in a funded project, participants will read against the grain of the foundation’s request and use the criteria it upholds to shape, evaluate, and strengthen grant and project proposals across the creative industries.
The deadline to submit letters of inquiry to the Graham Foundation is September 15, 2024.
Participants who are interested in learning about grants or improving their grant proposals are encouraged to attend even if they don’t plan to submit a letter of inquiry.
Per our ongoing practice, the studio will develop an application that it will share with applicants throughout the sessions. These dummy applications will model best practices and demonstrate how to, for example, center architecture in a project where architecture may only have a secondary role.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
Beyond applying for a Graham Foundation grant, participants who want to learn more about the grant writing process and develop a project using the foundation’s application as a template are welcome to attend. PhD candidates in the process of completing a doctoral dissertation on architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society may be eligible for Carter Manny Award and are encouraged to enroll.
