MakeWork Applications Available Thursday, April 15, 2010
Phillip Johnston is an editorial fellow at CreateHere. He brings us this update on MakeWork 2010.
This year, CreateHere is offering up to $125,000 in grants to innovative artists and artisans in the Chattanooga area and we’re excited to present you with all the resources you’ll need to apply for grants (up to $15,000 each) for career advancement, studio assistance, or that next big project that the community (and the world!) needs to see.
Because Chattanooga believes in the arts, we are committed to nurturing the creative spirit in our artists. The core mission of MakeWork is to stimulate our city’s creative economy and empower creatives with the tools they need to flourish and grow—whether you need time in the studio, film stock, paintbrushes, instruments, or models, MakeWork is here to help you succeed.
“But how does it work?” Check out our MakeWork homepage for more information, but for now, here’s what you need to get started:
Read through the MakeWork Grant Guide so you know what we expect and how to make your application the best it can be. You’re going to need to provide samples of your work, know about what expenses you’ll incur if you get the grant, and have two references who are as excited about your work as you are.
Next, fill out the 2010 MakeWork Arts Grants application. Be sure to be clear about your goals and dreams—don’t hold back. We want to know what makes you tick and why you’re so passionate about the ideas inside your head.
Applications are due on May 7 along with a $30 application fee. The final deadline is May 14 with a raised application fee of $45. Applications will be reviewed and considered and you’ll be notified on your award status by July 2. More details available at the main page.
