has beautiful old windows.

I went on a 2 day trip with my Professional Practices class the other week so we could visit galleries, museums and get info about grants. We got some great resources so I wanted to share them.

We went to The Contemporary and met with Alana Wolf who gave us great information about getting our work out in the world. The art center offers some great resources for members that might be worth taking a look. Their blog is great too.

The Foundation Center is an amazing resource for grants and grant writing. You can access a lot of info through the website but some of it requires a subscription.

We went to a few galleries and the work of William Dennisuk really resonated with me visually. He is interested in the “imaginative potential of the public space.” He also has his site specific proposals posted on his website that might be good to reference if you wanted to propose an installation or write a grant.

Ive been working on some new ideas and this is the inspiration imagery. What do you see? Im entering work in a juried printmaking show (which also has a print exchange so I’ll get 20 prints from other artists!) and this is the source for my print. I will photograph what Ive done so far and come back soon to post pics. Its nice to finally be working on something with my hands again! I still havent finished the quilt Ive been working on for the gallery because Sawyer ate my THIRD leather thimble and I have to go get another one! Maybe I’ll switch to the metal kind, I cant seem to learn my lesson and put it out of his reach.
