Free Workshop

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.
