Grant Writing Unit: This time, let’s win!

with Aaron Jan

Course Description

You deserve to get paid for your work. Whether you’re writing a play by yourself, workshopping it with your collective, or planning on mounting a production, there are ways to finance a project without relying on your own money or the unpredictability of ticket sales.

Registration for Tarragon's Playwriting and Dramaturgy Course with Brian Quirt is now open! AboutThis online course is an exploration of playwriting and play development practice and its relationship to dramaturgy. The work will include: in-class writing exercises; practical discussions on working with playwrights, dramaturgs and directors; and expectations for playwrights in a workshop environment.

Finding fresh ways to promote your artwork can seem daunting, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!  This workshop with artist Julia Lucich will identify hurdles to building a strong customer base and will uncover ways to surmount those hurdles.  Julia will distinguish between occasionally selling one's work and establishing a sustainable art-business model. Come away from this workshop with a clear understanding of the steps, challenges, and solutions involved in developing a thriving art business.

As part of BC Culture Days 2021, this workshop will introduce participants to creating a pouch made of leather or fabric with basic beadwork. The focus will be building practical skills of beading and sewing. Supplies will be available but feel free to bring your own to add your own sense of flair to your project.

While participants are encouraged to create a leather pouch for themself or a loved one, the group will be engaging in storytelling as a means to reflect on the meaning of medicine pouches and what are things they would like to carry with them in their day-to-day lives.
