The winds of change are blowing. I didn’t get a job that I was hoping I would get. It felt like it would be a really good fit for me as well as allowing me to grow quite a lot. But since it wasn’t meant to be it’s causing me to explore what I really want in work more deeply.
So I’ve been keeping my eyes open, and I’m trying hard to keep my mind open. This opportunity came my way recently. Now, when I first saw it I very nearly dismissed it. Then I started working on the application materials, and I almost talked myself out of finishing it.
An artist resumé? Ummmmm. Yeah. I cooked one up, but let’s just say it seems lacking to me compared to my more traditional resumé. But as they say, you have to start somewhere!
It looks like they extended the deadline (which was originally tomorrow), but since I had my materials together I submitted them a little bit ago.
I don’t know if I’ll be awarded the grant or not, but it feels good to apply for something I might have normally dismissed. And dismissed because the label “artist” still feels like something that doesn’t apply to me.
I decided I’d make my art cards with the campaign’s message and mail them to folks in my county. I used the below pictures as samples of my work.
It would be amazing to be able to create my artwork and send it to folks who might need a reassuring message (see the link above regarding the campaign).
So cheers to rolling with the winds of change and seeing where they take me!
