Hello Altana,

    You sound like I did 25 years ago! While I was in school art
    students, especially the better ones, were coached and encouraged to
    get grants. I spent a lot of time filling out papers and working on
    the kinds of resume builders that were supposed to make that happen.
    I did get a few very small grants but after a while it occured to me
    that it just was not worth the effort. A grant is usually a one time
    thing. I made a lot more progress by concentrating on work and sales.
    The hoops you have to jump through to qualify for grants can take you
    a very different direction than you might otherwise want to go. That
    direction is probably not going to help much when it comes to
    establishing your business. The type of work that gets grants is
    generally not the kind of thing that is viable in the marketplace.
    My opinion is that the effort it takes to get grants would be better
    spent working towards a body of work that you can sell.
