Show Notes
In today’s episode, Steph and I are unpacking the world of art prizes and grants. We talk through various aspects of this world- such as how prizes and grants differ from each other and what the experience of applying for each is like.
We also talk about the exposure to the risk of failure in this process and how, for someone like me, this can be disabling. But for Steph, she has found that she’s been able to move on from hearing no and find her way through this.
I was recently the recipient of an art prize, which surprised no one more than me, and it’s made me realize that it is actually worth the effort to apply for opportunities for art funding that are out there.
So if you’ve been thinking about applying for art prizes or grants, this is a great episode to help you build your bravery and learn about what to expect.

Dr. Ursula Betka was one of my favourite lecturers and tutors during my 6 years at Melbourne University studying art history in the 1990’s. Her area of specialisation, in which she has a Ph.D, focused on Medieval and Renaissance sacred images.
Welcome to season 13! I’ve started a new season as I have recently started a new chapter of my life and career as an artist. Three months ago, I started my Master of visual at Federation University, which is here in my hometown of Ballarat. So I thought it was about to time to check in and let you know what I’ve been up to and how it’s been going.
Hi friends and welcome to episode 117. It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat. It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril.
