#328: David Holmes, Diane Scott, and Drew Tucker (Grants Panel Discussion) (pt. 2 of 2)

Today we release part two of our first Arts Grant Panel interview. Since artists and arts organizations were left scrambling for support this spring due to the budget cuts at the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, we decided to launch our first panel discussion with experts who have experience as grant writers, grantors and grantees. Our goal is to shed light on grant funding and provide suggestions entities should consider when writing for grants. 

Joining us are: 

David Holmes, an Educational Programming Manager at Candid, where he helps nonprofits and individuals find funding. He also coordinates national trainings and educational programming for the Midwest region. https://candid.org/

Diane Scott, The Director of Artist Services at the Regional Arts Organization Mid-America Arts Alliance, She is the founding director and principal designer of the Artist INC professional development program. Now in its 16th year, Artist INC programs have been offered in eight states and completed by more than 2,500 artists. https://artistinc.art/about/artist-services-team/ and https://www.dianerscott.com/about
