Part 4 - Funding & Budgeting
Everyone has to eat sometime. I know, they say artists are starving but we still have bills to pay.

With that in mind you need to consider financing when thinking about undertaking a long-term project. You first need to look at what resources you have readily available that will help cover costs. Sometimes you’ll even need to look for funding in outside sources such as investors or grants.

Before talking to investors or applying for grants, actually before you begin your project, you’ll want to set a budget for the project. Consider your needs. Equipment, printing, supplies and travel needs. What will it cost to implement this project?

Be flexible and prepared.

  1. Very lovely images. We had that a couple of days ago. Now we have -18 wind chill.

  2. Thanks Julie. Yes, we have gotten snow since these pictures and are now around -25 wind chill. For some reason, I have a feeling this is going to be a winter to remember.
