The Northern Berkshire Creative Arts will hold a grant writing workshop, led by Gene Wenner, for individual and performing artists, May 12, 9am to 12noon, at the NBCA. Advance registration is required and the workshop fee is $10.

This workshop is designed to provide visual artists, musicians, actors, dancer, writers and film/media artists with practical approaches to the research, design of proposal formats, and writing skills required for the development of effective grants proposals. Workshop participants will have the opportunity, outside of the workshop, to receive feedback on grant proposals they are in the process of writing.
