“Women’s History Month ’08” officially ended for me on April 5th when I left NYC, but oh what a treat awaited me upon my return to Chicago: Martha Richards (Executive Director of the Fund for Women Artists & co-creator of the SWAN Day concept) called to tell me that our grant proposal was on the short-list, & indeed, on May 1st the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) officially announced that we would receive $25K under the category “access to artistic excellence” to build FWA infrastructure before the next International SWAN Day on March 28, 2009!!!
Bottomline: Buckle your seat belts cause you ain’t seen nothing yet 😉
