Grant Workshops

Upper Peninsula Arts & Culture Alliance offers in-person grant workshops in local communities in the Upper Peninsula throughout the year. If you are new to grant writing, want feedback on an existing or past grant application, or just want to learn more about grant opportunities and best practices in the world of arts funding, attending one of our workshops is an excellent opportunity for professional development. Best of all, grant workshops are free to attend!

If a grant workshop is not available in your region, or you want to learn more about the grant process, you can schedule a free grant workshop with us directly. Click the button below or email sue@upacalliance.com to set up a workshop in your community.
