Are you working on a project that could be benefited from receiving grant funding?
Join us for a free grant writing workshop with Katrina Caruso (Grants Manager, YES Employment + Entrepreneurship) to have all of your questions and curiosities answered. Katrina will show participants the ins and outs of preparing a application for all types of grants – whether they're provincial, federal, or offered by a local arts and cultural organization.
Tailored for artists of all disciplines working within and beyond Jewish themes, this workshop will also demystify the intersections of artistic practices that are rooted in Jewish identity.
Please note that pre-registration is required for all who wish to attend.

What is the Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative (MJAC)?
A partnership between the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM), KlezKanada, and the Segal Centre for Performing Arts, the Montreal Jewish Arts Collaborative aims to continue building a vibrant artistic ecosystem in our city by creating moments for intentional, creative gatherings, where ideas can be shared and new collaborations can grow. This new project will bring together our creative communities to share resources and offer more ways for creative and/or culturally-engaged projects to receive mentorship, access to a more diverse network of peers, and offer opportunities to collaborate on new projects or enhance your current work.
