ROCKPORT — Have you ever dreamed of securing funding for a project you have in mind or being awarded an artist-in-residency for your own creative work? Grants, crowdfunding awards and fully funded residencies for individuals are available. This class by Laura Lee Perkins will help you. Laura, who with her husband, Kenneth Green, owns White Owl Products, has been awarded 11 grants and 5 artist-in-residencies for their creative projects in music and writing related to their Native American flutes and Native American music classes.

Laura will help you discover where you can apply for such funding, simplify the application processes, examine the qualifications necessary for a particular funding, and help you move through the fear of not being good enough to win an award. You will also learn that you really do not need to have connections!

This two-week class begins on Thursday, May 19, from 6-8 p.m., at Camden Hills Regional High School. Registration is through Five Town CSD Adult and Community Education, 25 Keelson Dr. For more information or to sign up contact adult ed at fivetowns.maineadulted.org or 236-7800, ext. 5.
