How can an artist get funded when they are not producing a
commercial product? And what if they are a student or or are doing
small scale projects? What can the arts world learn from microgranters?
Have we underestimated the power of putting a small amount of money in
highly-creative hands?

 

Today we are joined by Marissa Neave, an emerging writer
and curator studying Criticism and Curatorial Practice at the Ontario
College of Art and Design whose
thesis project tinygrants is an experiment in
microfunding for the arts — specifically artist performing creative
interventions in Toronto, Ontario. As always, we
welcome call-in questions at
(347) 855-8744.
