Just had to leave a comment about applying for a “New Work New England” grant from NEFA. Wow. It took me 2 days and at least 3 hours to fill out the application! Mentally exhausting, to be honest. But it’s a good tired feeling. Now I just hope (fingers crossed) that I receive some amount of funds for my music project. Thank you ArtSake for compiling all the opportunities available to us New England artists! And good luck to those filing an application for the NEFA grant!
