How Do Hugh Write a Grant? Grant Writing for Creatives

A workshop with Jaclyn Grossman

This workshop introduces artists to the essentials of grant writing and funding strategies for creative projects.

We’ll explore how to identify funders, prepare strong applications, communicate ideas clearly, and build realistic budgets and timelines. Whether you’re applying for your first grant or planning a larger-scale project, you’ll leave with practical tools to help secure support and bring your work to life.

This workshop is ideal for artists, creatives, and cultural workers. We’ll also have time set aside for schmoozing so you can connect with fellow Jewish creatives.
