How to find a sponsor?

How do I find someone to sponsor my participation is festivals and workshops?

• I'm a professional artist--specifically a choreographer. It's very important for me to continue my education through workshops offered throughout the country. I have a not for profit organization that is willing to act as my fiscal sponsor. Now how do I find a foundation/arts patron to sponsor my continued education?

• Answer:

  As a BFA grad, I would have hoped that you had a class about grant writing. My daughter's class (in her dance program) hands out a list of foundations that fund dance-related projects, including continuing education, and they practice writing grant proposals for them. You might want to contact your former dance program for such a list. You have a very nice web site. I especially love the line where you say, "Beauty is most effective when it takes people by surprise." I think that is very true.
