I think the secret is to get your work out as much as possible and work that mailing list. Meet the people who are the decision makers in your art community. I also think none of this should be done with the idea that you might get a $50K grant. $50K just doesn't go that far anymore. You're doing it to further your career on all fronts. If the extra money comes in handy, all the better. Good point, Sharon! I think the secret is to get your work out as much as possible and work that mailing list.
