Are you an artist or writer trying to navigate the world of fellowships, grants, and residencies? Join us for a candid conversation with fellow Rubies Shruti Swamy, Christie George, Melanie Elvena, and friends from Asian American Women Artists Association about the art of applying. From identifying the right opportunities to crafting compelling proposals, we'll share our experiences with each other in a casual conversation.

No question is too big or too small. There is so much collective wisdom at the Ruby, we're hoping to bring together beginners who are just starting to identify opportunities as well as those who have attended several residencies. We'll also have the opportunity to help refine and populate a crowdsourced spreadsheet (https://airtable.com/appFew0oiJTSWyAwA/shrVnd8eZPwsvLkG8/tblpGDBwYQR98qZIo/viwQWngHfBbVNc03a) of grants, fellowships and residencies that we can all use.

This is an intimate gathering of Ruby and AAWAA members.
