Whew! I just submitted my grant application for a grant from the Bronx Council on the Arts. I got it in with 4 ½ hours to spare. I make myself crazy with deadlines. Announcements will be in March. Fingers crossed. I need the money so badly. I entered the poetry category. My confidence fluctuates. There are moments I believe it is grant-worthy, and then there are moments I hope the judges will appreciate my style. The hopeful part is there can be more than one winner in a category. So if they find several to be grant-worthy, there can be several winners. It depends. If no one wins for dance or sculpture, etc., that money can be used for multiple winners in another category.
The Bronx Council on the Arts has been so enriching and encouraging over the years. I’ve attended many of their workshops and classes which are free to us. For me, it offers what I can’t otherwise afford. And it’s high quality.
Now, let’s warm up together with laughter this Friday! 9pm at Pangea, 178 Second Avenue near 12th Street, NYC. Only $15 cover; if you buy your ticket in advance, it’s only $10. Advance tickets here: https://cur8.com/23871/project/128512 There is a minimum of $20 food/drink; the food is excellent. Here’s the line-up:
Laughter guaranteed!
Love to CGG-M ❤💕❤

It was a blast! I was so glad to see the poets who attended and my buddy Judy, my long-time friend.
