What should I know about applying for grants to help fund my art business?

Look for grant programs that support small businesses in getting online and building digital presence—these became especially common during the pandemic. When applying, be prepared for the grant organization to explore your business deeply and push you to think outside the box about growth opportunities. Having a clear plan for what you want to invest in (like a professional website or marketing infrastructure) will strengthen your application. While many artists talk about grants, actually securing one requires doing the research to find available programs and following through with a strong application.
