As someone that does grant research I am glad to see that others are posting about there being grants available for individual artists and not all grants are just for non-profit organizations!
I am happy also. I applied. Now I wish I knew how one learns if it's a yes or a no on the grant.
Sometimes I just don't feel important enough to be told even a 'no' let alone a 'yes'.
So many possibilities to teach art and to do art and so few ways to get it supported, I think. gh
