By Kevin Robinson in Arts & Entertainment on Dec 28, 2006 7:30PM

Are you an artist? Do you really wish you could be one? Do you want the City to give you some money so you can quit your crappy job waiting tables and make "art" all day? Well good news! Artists in all disciplines can apply now for grants of up to $1,000 through the Community Arts Assistance Program (CAAP) for the year 2007 for professional, artistic, and organizational development projects. Information on where to get applications, as well as where the City is holding workshops on how to make the most of your application can be found here. Workshops start Jan 4, and go through the 22nd, so make sure you cover that dinner shift!
