CARFAC SASK & Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre are pleased to present the following free workshop:

Hanging your Artwork: Preparator Skills for Artists

With Larissa Berschley MacLellan

Saturday June 8. 2024, 1pm-4pm
Hosted in-person
Neutral Ground Artist-Run Centre
1854 Scarth Street, Regina

Handling and installing your own artwork is a fundamental experience of exhibiting at artist-run centres, DIY spaces, and artist collectives. Moreover, an informed relationship to technical practices of displaying art objects will benefit any artist throughout their career.

Join Larissa Berschley MacLellan as she shares the lessons she’s learned over nearly 10 years working as a professional art preparator: Look forward to learning basic art handling techniques intended to keep both you and your artworks safe and and become acquainted with the common tools of the trade. Don’t be surprised if discussing the largely unseen labour that goes into the crating, handling, and display of artworks doesn’t expand the way you conceive of your artwork in relation to larger museum practices.

Telling a Story: How to Write a Better Grant

With Dwayne Martineau and Nic Wilson

Wednesday March 20th, 6:30pm-8pm (CST/MDT)
WEBINAR HOSTED ONLINE

Telling a Story: How to Write a Better Grant features two 25 -30 minute presentations by Dwayne Martineau and Nic Wilson that explain how to tell the right story with the right budget with your next grant. After these two presentations, there will be a thirty-minute Q+A based on your questions. As the webinar is on Zoom, we will unmute the audience so you can ask your own questions. Join us and learn more about how you can tell your story through grant-writing!

Register HERE to attend! Please email programs.sask@carfac.ca or call the Regina office at (306) 522-9788 if you could use a hand with registration.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Dwayne Martineau has scored hundreds of grant applications and has studied what makes an application sink or swim. He's seen good proposals go sour for reasons as small as a hard drive. He will be sharing simple tips and strategies that will help you successfully tell your story to a grants jury, avoid red flags, and keep your application away from the NO pile.
 
For Nic Wilson, a budget tells a story. It can create confidence in your grant application or it can raise alarm bells. In this session, they will talk about how to present a well-balanced grant budget, how to use it once you begin your project, and how to report on your activities, expenses, and financial outcomes. They will discuss the difference between in-kind support, personal contributions, and grant requests with an emphasis on individual artists grants.
