The workshop will respond to the general and specific grant proposal writing concerns of participants, and feature a “mock panel” process in which participants play the role of a grant review panelist. The Arts Board's "Creative Communities" program will serve as the basis for the mock panel review for most of these workshops.

NEW FOR 2009: Creation and Presentation grant program applicants, please note that one workshop will be offered in both Madison and Milwaukee featuring Creation and Presentation program applications in the mock panel process.

Please note: Space is limited for these workshops. Please register as soon as possible by submitting the registration form located here: http://artsboard.wisconsin.gov/static/fall_workshops_09registration.pdf. The deadline for registration is one week prior to the workshop date.
