The Starving Artist

Finding the resources you need to attend MasterWorks can be difficult, but we're here to help. We'd love to provide free access to MasterWorks for all our talented and deserving students. Unfortunately, that just isn't possible. We give scholarships out to the best of our ability and trust the Lord with the rest. Over the years, MasterWorks students have raised thousands of dollars to offset their tuition costs, making it possible for them to attend MasterWorks.

You, too, can find the support you need to participate in the artistic and biblical training we provide. This packet is full of resources and ideas to get your support-raising started. Written by professional fundraisers and supplemented with ideas from MasterWorks alumni, you'll find everything you need to run a successful fundraising campaign--without selling fruit or candy bars!
