AcA’s Professional Development Series for Artists, Creative Acadiana, Presenting 3-Part Grant Writing Workshop

 

LAFAYETTE, LA – Creative Acadiana is a comprehensive career development program for artists and creative entrepreneurs in Acadiana, including grant funding, workforce development courses, and professional networking opportunities to build a thriving creative sector in Acadiana presented by Acadiana Center for the Arts (AcA) and funded in part through Atchafalaya Natural Heritage Area’s Legacy Grant program.

Ahead of AcA’s individual artist funding program, ArtSpark, opening for submissions in early January, a three-part grant writing workshop starting on November 29 delves into setting the groundwork for creatives planning to apply for the next round. The series will include an opportunity to work on a mock proposal over the three week period.

 

AcA’s Community Development Manager, Anna Kojevnikov, said “Practicing your grant writing skills provides benefits beyond securing funding. Through practice, it helps develop and refine your art project and the more you do it, the easier it gets!”.

AcA strives to accommodate people who might not be able to attend in person, or at the specific times, so this workshop series will be held in-person at AcA, streamed live and recorded. Scholarships are also available.

In response to a very successful run of Creative Acadiana workshops and gatherings, AcA has added an additional ‘Artist Round Up’ to the calendar on December 7th at 5pm. The theme for this gathering is ‘Show & Tell’ and participants are encouraged to bring along an object of their creation to talk about. Organizers would like those planning to attend to know that participation is not mandatory and this is a great opportunity for everyone to meet and learn more about fellow creatives in your community. We look forward to welcoming you to the Acadiana Center for the Arts!
