The lookout
Been pretty busy lately, but just whipped up a digital sketch for sketching’s sake.
Got my grant application into DCA on Friday. I’m pretty much only eligible for the Development grant. I feel like I’m a great candidate though, pursuing this ‘new’ digital art-form.
I’ve looked into other funding bodies and there’s not a whole lot of support available to artists after training. One key factor is the course I’ve applied isn’t accredited (no degree or formal recognition etc) – it’s completely practical and very specialised, which is exactly what I need!
There’s also a Skills and Development grant I’m eligible for through the Australia Council. I believe that’s an annual grant though (due August), and for activity starting next year. Bleh. This course wasn’t even announced when the last round of funding was due, making the lengthy grant turnaround highly inconvenient.
