The Guggenheim Fellowship is one of the most prestigious grants for US-based visual artists. The application portal opens in August and artists Elana Mann and Virginia Broersma will be giving a workshop on the application process: walking attendees through the components, sharing examples of successful applicants, and giving tips for applying to this grant. We’ll share our experience from applying for the grant and working as grant writers. Elana and Virginia have helped successful Guggenheim candidates receive this fellowship.
We want to help you get that Guggenheim!
Please note that this workshop will not be recorded.
