We are so excited that we had such a great turnout for last night’s Art/Work Connections seminar, “Grants for Artists” by Joshua Kingston at Eleazar Delgado Studio. We want to thank Joshua for presenting, Eleazar for hosting and our volunteers for helping at the door. It is gratifying to see so many artists taking advantage of the educational opportunities we work hard to provide. Over 50 people showed up, the room was filled to overflowing and we apologize to those who had to sit on the floor! Obviously, this is a popular subject and we will be doing future seminars about it.
Life Is Art  presents Art/Work Connections #21: Understanding Grants for Artist with Joshua Kingston at Eleazar Delgado Studio Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Art/Work Connections is a monthly series of seminars presented by Life Is Art featuring business professionals speaking on a variety of topics vital to the success of working artists.

About Joshua Kingston:
Joshua Kingston was raised in a military family, moving often and quickly learned to adapt and connect with people. He studied Theater, Music and Literature in college and has worked as a Vet Tech and a Software Developer before settling in to his true calling, writing. Always feeling the need to have more knowledge, he went back to school to obtain a Masters in Theology. Today, he writes helps artists verbalize their art into statements and galleries develop catalog material while his passion is the challenge of grant writing for both individual artists, projects, and small/mid-sized Arts organizations.
About Eleazar Delgado Studio:
Originally conceived at our home, Eleazar Delgado Studio has always been the artist’s creative space. The idea grew into a gathering place for our friends, mostly artists in their own rights, to showcase their current work and preview concepts. We made it official in 2010 when we opened a public space in Wynwood. Today in addition to being Eleazar’s personal art studio, we host local talents and leaders who need a professional environment to showcase, educate, and enrich the community at large.
Next month Art/Work Connections on Contract Negotiation with RKE Law Group is August 12 at Kroma Collective Art Space so save the date! Come and learn how to stop being ripped off! More info soon.
