Artist Experience As an indiv idual artist and a representativ e of Redbud, I hav e had <br />numerous experiences ov er the past three years with writing classes <br />geared towards under-represented communities. Some of my recent <br />community writing classes include this ear’s Intro to Memoir class, <br />which was transformativ e for the four students who participated; one <br />said, “Taking this memoir class for the past few months has been <br />awesome. It has not only giv en me a set time to write and reflect but <br />it focuses on the importance of understanding who I hav e been ov er <br />my lifetime. The experience was awesome and one that I would <br />suggest for ev eryone to be a part of if they can. I appreciated being <br />taught by Emily and the structure the class had. The materials we <br />read for homework allowed personal exploration and brought up so <br />many topics/ texts I had otherwise not heard of.” In addition, in April, <br />Arshia and I cotaught an afternoon class at the Durham Center for <br />Senior Life, where we instructed eight middle- and low-income <br />seniors in a crash course in writing yourself as a character in <br />memoir. By the end of the workshop, in the words of a senior center <br />employee, the residents were “glowing.” And finally, through <br />continuing to include marginalized students in our Redbud courses <br />through our scholarship program, we hav e seen remarkable <br />outcomes: an incredible improv ement in their writing skills, serious <br />amounts of work done on worthwhile nov els and memoir projects. <br />This year’s grants from Orange County would allow us to continue to <br />reach these community classes and reach and empower students <br />from all walks of life. <br />How do you plan to <br />market your project? <br />In the past, I hav e marketed these classes through outreach to <br />nonprofits and community groups in Orange County; posting on <br />social media; and contacting students already in Redbud's orbit. I <br />plan to follow that same marketing plan again. <br />PROJECT/PROGRAM <br />BUDGET <br />Please fill out the charts below with your project's expenses and <br />income.
