Workshop Grant Writing
workshop - meeting room
Donald Weber (VII Network)http://donaldweber.com/
The workshop will cover a comprehensive overview of the entire Grant Writing process. I break it down into four simple parts:
1) The Proposal. We will examine some award winning proposals, including my Guggenheim Fellowship, Lange-Taylor and two Canada Council grants. We will also look at other award-winning proposals, including Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, and others. We will look at why I wrote what I did, why it was successful, etc. We will talk about the overall structure of writing a proposal, breaking it down into simple steps.
2) The Portfolio. After the proposal, an integral part of a successful grant is the portfolio and the editing of the photographs you choose. We examine what to look for and how to make the portfolio support your proposal.
3) The CV. Many people underestimate the power of a strong CV and its impact on a successful grant. We will discuss what makes a strong CV and how to your ordinary CV into extraordinary.
4) The Grants. I’ll show various websites and calendars that list various grants and their deadlines. We will also look at websites that help you in the preparation and finding of all grants that apply to what you want to do.
Duration: 2 hours
Maximum number of participants: 20
Fee: € 30,- per person

Bio
Prior to photography, Donald Weber originally trained as an architect and worked with urban theorist Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He freelanced for the international press in places as diverse as Africa, Eastern Europe, Russia and South America before taking aim at the bigger picture: the growth of insoluble World Power. He has since devoted himself to the study of how Power deploys an all-encompassing theater for its subjects; what he records is its secret collaboration with both masters and victims.
Recent major projects include The Underclass and Its Bosses: Crime & Punishment in Ukraine; Bastard Eden, Our Chernobyl, which won the photolucida Book Award; The Drunken Bride, Russia Unveiled, completed on a Guggenheim Fellowship; The Drowned City, examining the future city in 2050. His first book, Bastard Eden, Our Chernobyl, (photolucida) was released in 2008; His forthcoming book, Interrogations, (Schilt) about post-Soviet authority in Ukraine and Russia, will be released in Fall, 2011.
His work has appeared in numerous international publications including Amica, Der Speigel, The Guardian, Newsweek, New York Times, New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Stern, Time and The Walrus. He has worked with the NGO’s Medecins sans Frontieres, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and War Child. Weber’s photography projects have been exhibited at festivals and galleries worldwide including the United Nations, Museum of the Army at Les Invalides in Paris, the Portland Museum of Art and the Alice Austen House Museum in New York. His photographs are in the permanent collection of the Portland Museum of Art and the Museum of Memory and Tolerance in Mexico City.
Weber is the recipient of the Lange Taylor Documentary Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Chalmers Fellowship and a World Press award, amongst others. Other major awards include the Duke and Duchess of York Photography Prize, PDN’s 30 and was named an Emerging Photo Pioneer by American Photo.
