This workshop will cover the basics of applying to artist opportunities such as residencies, open calls, and fellowships: looking for opportunities, developing personal criteria for which to apply to, tracking deadlines, organizing application materials, and - most crucially - navigating rejections and cultivating resilience to keep applying. Following a presentation, participants will be invited to discuss and share their own methods, experiences and questions.
