I just got turned down from OSV grant. 😩🥲. I have to admit I am a bit sad but will get back on the horse tomorrow.

I’m so grateful I found your Substack! And thanks for sharing your experience about losing this grant. Great information.

I found a $125,000 fellowship that fit my qualifications perfectly in your newsletter a couple months ago and spent two weeks on the application, my first time trying! Now, I’m just waiting to find out if I made the first cut, trying not to get my hopes up too much.

So grateful for all the work you’re doing!

Thanks for this insight, I’m really trying my best to get these grants. It takes awhile to find any funding as an independent artist on top of struggling to survive in life out here
