This workshop will illuminate the grant writing process for artists, providing tips for enhanced writing skills, explaining your projects to the jury in clear ways, portfolio preparation, and going over the budget preparation process. Although the focus will be on Canada Council for the Arts grants, these skills can be applied to a number of other funding bodies. We will also go over a breakdown of questions in the application forms with tips for answering.

Shazia Ahmad (she/her) is a half-Pakistani, half-Chilean painter and printmaker living in Brossard. Her practice is centred on the notions of home and belonging, tied to the broader theme of otherness due to her interfaith and unique mixed-race background. She is the recipient of several Canada Council for the Arts and City of St. John’s grants and has exhibited her work at The Rooms, Grenfell Art Gallery, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, and Unit1 Gallery London amongst others. She was the 2021-22 Don Wright Scholar at St. Michael’s Printshop in St. John’s, NL.
