An opportunity for peer-to-peer feedback on your current project proposal draft.

Led by David Blazevich, Executive Director of the Fleishhacker Foundation, the session offers practical guidance on shaping project descriptions and communicating artistic vision in ways that resonate with funders.

David Blazevich is the Executive Director of the Fleishhacker Foundation in San Francisco.
