ce 24: Mostar

ce 22: Acknowledgement of Support

In the six-weeks of accumulated mail awaiting my return to Fredericton was an envelope from artsnb that I had missed on my first sorting. Inside was a letter awarding me a grant, a first installment cheque, and blank Final Report form that "must be completed within 30 days of completion of the event."

The grant was from the Career Development Program "designed to recognize and encourage arts professionals who have demonstrated exceptional artistic talent and potential, and who are pursuing a career in the arts. The program is divided in three components ... [from which I received] assistance to present work by invitation in established arts events" ... namely, the 4th Unconventional Conference of Young Canadianists and other April–May 2010 poetry readings & presentations in Central Europe.
