Devastatingly, my stipend application for one year of artistic work was denied. They can't specify why due to the high volume of applications. The type of application I sent is extremely competitive and only about 10% go through. I've also heard it's incredibly hard for 1st timers and new artists to get any grants so it's not shocking, it still stings though.

Gonna be a very difficult year economically unless I magically get an actual job and not just an internship.
