What Shape Are Your Needs?

Opportunity comes in all shapes and sizes. There are those suited to individual artists, others focused on offering assistance and support to nonprofit groups within the art world. There are funding opportunities, educational offerings, residencies, open calls, you name it, there’s probably an opportunity out there somewhere. The trick is finding the right ones for your needs and your particular sphere of work. Here is a small variety to get you started.
