The Tulsa Sews grant opportunity will be announced via the Tulsa Modern Quilt Guild Blog, website, newsletter, and social media outlets.
Grant proposals will identify goals and objectives which include instructing children, youth, or adults to sew. Proposals will include a budget, a timeline, a narrative of the project proposal, and measurable outcomes. Upon completion, a report will be sent to the Tulsa Modern Quilt Guild including outcomes and photographs of the project.
Proposals will be accepted annually.
Teachers and students will be invited to the July annual meeting of the Tulsa Modern Quilt Guild to report to the membership the outcome of the project.
Student projects will be offered free entry in the next Tulsa Modern Quilt Guild Quilt Show in a special exhibit.
