This webinar is geared toward photographers looking for practical ways to support their work, from grants and fellowships to residencies, awards, editorial assignments, teaching, partnerships, and other less traditional ways of creating access and momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWe will talk honestly about the realities of funding as working artists: understanding where you are in a project, what kinds of opportunities make sense at different stages of development, and how to prioritize what is actually worth your time. We will look at opportunities across the U.S. and Europe and discuss how to build a sustainable approach to support over time rather than chasing every application deadline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMost importantly, we will spend time on proposal writing. How do you write clearly and persuasively about work that may still be evolving? How do you translate complex ideas into language that selection panels understand without flattening what makes the work meaningful? We will discuss strategies for writing stronger project descriptions, artist statements, and applications, as well as common mistakes photographers make when applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThis is not a webinar from a professional grant writer. It is a conversation from one working artist to another, built from years of applying, failing, revising, receiving support, and continuing to figure it out in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDates: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAugust 18th, 2026 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eTime: 6:00 – 7:30 PM CT\u003cbr\u003eLocation: Online via Zoom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Filter Photo Festival","offers":[{"title":"Non Member $75","offer_id":66945420787757,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Member $60","offer_id":66945420754989,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Student $45","offer_id":66945420820525,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/filter-photo-festival.myshopify.com\/products\/making-the-work-possible-funding-strategies-for-photographers-with-kristine-potter","provider":"Filter Photo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
