Last night I went to a workshop for the Community Arts Assistant Program grant that the city of Chicago awards. The deadline is January 25 so I should probably get to work on my application which seems somewhat lengthy. Probably most importantly I need to decide what I would use the money for- what's my project? For the Puffin Foundation grant I just apllied for, I outlined my next series of work and applied for the grant for my material costs.
For the CAAP grant, I could use it to pay for a consultant to help with marketing, or to pay to work with a "master artist" which I think would be great, if I knew any.

What is this blog about?
Sometimes it's hard to think of being an artist as a real job. If you're a studio artist, it's likely that you don't have a boss or co-workers, scheduled work hours or pre-determined objectives. You have to do all of it yourself. No one is really watching to see if you are being productive or doing your job well. Rarely are there deadlines, critiques, peers, competition... all things that I miss and am less productive without.
This blog is my way of setting some accountability for myself. In my regular studio routine, I sit down before I start to paint and write a to-do list. I intend for this blog to record my to-do list and my thoughts on my process. It's purely a tool to remind myself that there is more work to be done, and to help me track what I've accomplished.
