Funding Arts and Design: Advancing Scholarship, Education, and Creative Practice Part One: Federal Funding

The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) at Virginia Tech invite members from a2ru institutions to participate in a series of three interactive Zoom workshops to learn about and discuss funding strategies and opportunities in the arts and design. Each workshop will be 90 minutes and will include a panel of experts in the field of arts funding. During the first hour, panelists will discuss critical aspects for successful proposals, potential avenues for funding, and ways to strengthen future proposals. The remainder of the workshop

will be devoted to answering participants' particular questions.

The three interactive sessions will be divided into federal funding, philanthropic funding, and corporate foundations.
