Erin De Rosa, SITE SANTA FE’s Grants Manager, will lead workshop attendees on this exploration of grant writing foundations. A painter, muralist, and creative project director, Erin’s work in the grantmaking field began at the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance more than 10 years ago, where she managed a statewide regranting partnership & annually allocated $400,000 of funding to 200+ local artists & organizations. Invigorated with the behind-the-scenes knowledge of equipping artists with money for their work, she has since generated funding for a variety of multidisciplinary creative projects, including the City of Albuquerque’s Public Art Program, MurosABQ, and the Indigenous Design and Planning Institute’s A Living Archive of Urban Indians.

In her current role, she collaborates with SITE SANTA FE’s development department to raise funds for exhibitions, education programs, and museum operations. You can find more about her mural work on colorfinds.com.
