Client Testimonial
WOV is doing important work not only artistically and pedagogically, but also through their grant writing service for fellow artists seeking funding. Their applications are of extremely high quality, efficiency, and depth, and their experience as performers, teachers, and creatives is invaluable to their method of presenting projects in request of support. There are many important stories to be told, concepts to be explored, and artists in need of support though their development; this service allows the creators to focus on their art while WOV oversees the application writing, details, and deadlines.
