My parade was rained out today. I spoke to the woman at the Fund for Folk Culture, the go between agency for the California Arts Council’s Traditional Arts Program, getting an apprentice grant funded this year seems like an up-hill battle. Despite what the written materials imply, they really aren’t giving out any apprentice-type grants…not to mention the fact that during our conversation the grantmaker said, “Well bootmaking is really more of a ‘craft’ or occupation (than it is art)”… ouch.
Oh well, I’m a practical person. I’ve always got a plan “b”.
