there are government art grants

you don't even have to be starving, just making art

lol im sure i dont qualify

you just have to apply and fill out forms and stuff

iiiiintersting

Canada council for the arts i think

yeah you have to have a 'practice' and like.. show that you're actively looking into showing in galleries

but they do offer pretty significant chunks of money if you can prove that you're willing to work for it

crazy. thats actually nice to know. though im hardly gallery material yet

dont have a niche

not yet at least lol

you can submit prints to a gallery! you do super high resolution work, you could totally use grant money to make giant canvas prints

that would be awesome

....

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

and then keep them after.. on my ceiling
