Writing grant proposals, artist bios, and residency applications doesn’t have to feel like a solo chore. Welcome to Grant Writing & Project Collaboration with Google Docs, a highly practical, one-hour workshop designed to turn tedious paperwork into a seamless, community-driven process. Whether you are a solo creator drafting your next project proposal or an arts organization co-writing a major funding application, this session will teach you how to maximize the collaborative power of cloud-based writing.

In this fast-paced hour, we will move past standard typing and unlock the hidden features that make Google Docs an essential writing tool for artists. You will discover how to use Version History to easily maintain different word-count variations of your artist statement, and how to use Smart Chips and comments to assign tasks and gather real-time feedback from editors, curators, or peers. By streamlining your drafting workflow, you will learn how to spend less time formatting text and more time crafting compelling narratives that win funding.
