Learn Arts Funding from the Pros

"In Conversation" Special Episode
Higher Education

Are you a Duke student wanting to know about ways to find and secure funding for arts projects? Are you planning to apply for on- or off-campus funding opportunities for a creative project in the near future?

Join us for a panel of Duke faculty artists who will be discussing best practices regarding arts grants applications. This conversation will cover grant and research proposal writing, portfolio development, gathering supporting materials, asking for recommendations, and major funding opportunities at Duke. This program is open to all, but is specifically designed for Duke undergraduates.

“Even though the times are hard, sometimes jumping into your art form can give you the energy you need to feel like yourself again!” Shaina Lubliner ‘20 trained with The Second City’s Stand-Up Comedy over Zoom this summer thanks to support from the Benenson Award in the Arts.
