Funding Your Artistic Work

Stephen Sondheim famously said, “Art isn’t easy. Even when you’re hot. Advancing art is easy. Financing it is not.” Artist/entrepreneurs in today’s market place need to rethink their expectations about project fundraising.

In this workshop we will:
Help you broaden your perspective on project fundraising options for individual artists
Consider project fundraising basics such as developing your database, creating budgets and determining where to best focus your efforts
Discuss the lay of the land and grant strategies for individual artists
Introduce new fundraising ideas, beyond grants, that can be incorporated into project fundraising plans

Corbett Barklie is committed to deep engagement with artists and artist collectives whom she believes are the backbone of the creative community.

Her work focuses on stabilizing the flow of high quality artistic impulses and product with minimal corporate infrastructure.

Corbett was the founding Director of Loretta Theatre, the Executive Director of ARTS Inc., and served as the Deputy Director of Development for Center Theater Group. She worked with the NEA as an assessor and consultant in their Challenge & Advancement Program. Since 2002, Corbett has been an Adjunct Professor in the University of Southern California, School of Theatre. She also produces theater and writes essays.
