Ok, now go fix your application!

Of course, this is just a start of an ongoing process. We recommend organizations update applications and open calls every few years, and we welcome your help in continuing to shape this guide!

Here are some of our favorite accessible open calls:
- The Documentary Core Application
- The Creative Capital Award
- The Crystal Ruth Bell Residency

And our favorite advocate for fair, sliding-scale pay for artists: W.A.G.E.

Please send us your suggestions and favorite examples to add to the list, and feel free to get in touch any time at info {at} rivet.es.

Thanks for reading & reshaping your application processes!

Endless thanks & admiration to all the administrators out there working to build and fix institutions!

Special thanks to Common Field for hosting the initial workshop and to all those who came and shared their frustrations and aspirations. Thanks to NEW INC & the New Museum, the Made in NY Media Center & IFP for incubating, and to Admin for encouraging venting, collaboration, and solidarity.
