I've been working with The PlayGround Theatre this summer. Getting to know their productions has been a slowly unfolding love story.
This costume sketch caught my eye - a work of art by itself. It was for 'Eve' in PlayGround Theatre's production of Arthur Miller's The Creation of the World and Other Business. Contemporary artist Simon Pastukh did the set and costume design.
I'm so rarely impressed by work samples that it seemed worth mentioning. I actually printed it and placed it on the wall over my computer monitor.
All too often, artists tack on the documentation process as
an afterthought, on a shoestring budget. Which is too bad, considering
it's the only way that grant makers have the opportunity to see your
work.
An Extremely Important [Un-Named] Grant Maker At The National Level told me he spends less than a minute looking at work samples. Consultants like me? I'll sit there for five minutes and give you a chance, but I've always been a sucker for artistic passions. And I can make a fire in the fireplace and watch said bad video with the two kitties.
