The Akron-Summit County Public Library is pleased to be hosting a FREE workshop on Grantseeking Basics for Individuals in the Arts
If you are an individual involved in the arts and looking for funding to complete a project, mount an exhibition, put on a performance, conduct research, or anything else arts-related, this workshop will show you how to identify funders supporting individuals working in the arts. We will also touch on grantmaker motivations in funding individual artists, and the variety of support options available.
Wednesday, October 7, 10 am–noon
Meeting Room 2AB – Main Library, 60 S. High Street, Akron
The workshop will feature a presentation on Foundation Center tools that will help artists identify funders. In addition there will be a panel discussion with Megan Van Voorhis from the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture and Kate Harmon from The Mary Schiller Myers School of Art at The University of Akron. The panel will share ideas on how to market yourself as an artist and potential funding for artists.

Larry Churski Demo
Tonight for our first meeting of the year, we had an oil painting demo by Larry Churski . An accomplished illustrator and painter Larry has studied with Don Stone, Richard Schmidt and Lowell Ellsworth Smith.
Larry chose to paint Hudson's Barlow Farm and used one of his own watercolors of the farm for quick reference.
Below you will see a slideshow of his demo. If you are able to visit his gallery in Bath you are in for a treat!
