Does Diagramme offer writing services, particularly for scholarship/grant applications?
The artistic vision and approach must come from the artist. Diagramme does not claim to draft the initial version of a grant or scholarship application. However, we can help you organize your thoughts and articulate your ideas. As part of this mandate, we review your text, but also your schedule, budget and supporting documents and coordinate the application to maximize your chances of obtaining these essential supports.
What other initiatives and projects does Diagramme have?
Diagramme is evolving with its community and is constantly developing new initiatives to support the performing arts. These flexible support measures have been created to meet needs that go beyond the usual administrative and budgetary management and funding requests. In recent years, we have led several programs and special projects, including Studios Solidaires, Co-production Support, Luncheries and Training and Coaching services.
