I haven't posted anything for quite a while...so here I am!
Regarding the Grant...
The project we are working on at ILIRI is quite huge and it involves many different aspects, with the ultimate aim to create the Museum for Envronment ans Sustainability.
After weeks writing and re-writing the grant application, we finally decided which specific grant at OZ Co to apply to...and we did!
I helped writing the proposal outline and doing the budget for the project. Of course what I did was revised and modified by the Director Louise and Lucy.
I have to say it was extremely satisfying to have finally applied, and now let's hope!
During this experience I learned many things...among which, I don't want to apply for anything like that again. But I'm afraid I will have to. This is what non-for-profit organisation have to do on a daily basis...and like someone said commenting on previous posts, we haven't been taught how to apply for grants....So we will have to learn by doing...REALLY!
Regarding the exhibition...
Being ocupied with the Grant, the exhibition I would have to organise is still a draft. Next week though I will have to do some research on artists and in two weeks max I want to have an idea of what the exhibition is gonna be.
At the moment I am identifying some grants to apply to, then the creative part, so at least I will have an idea about deadlines and criteria for the grants.... Reverse process maybe, but without a budget at ILIRI I will have to try ensure fundings for the exhibit.
More news soon....
