Worcester, MA, January 12, 2008 --(PR.com)-- After having met so many interesting and creative people in Worcester it was hard for Scott to believe that there was such little publicity and promotion about these artistic folks right here in our own backyard. Seeing an opportunity, he decided he wanted to take on a self-driven project to photograph 20 of Worcester’s creative and talented artists in their studios or workspaces. He wanted to meet with and collaborate with these artists to create interesting images that would tell a little bit about them as artsy people living and working here in Worcester. Ideally he wanted to create a book and have a show of the final images to exhibit some of the brilliance that Worcester has hidden away.

As the project unfolded, and Scott met with these gifted artists and became very excited and pleased with the way the images were coming together. Then a harsh realization settled in: this undertaking was going to cost him some real money to produce.

As Scott discussed the project with several friends and mentors, they mentioned to him that there was grant money to be awarded to area artists from the Worcester Cultural Commission. This was just what Scott needed to make this project come to life. He went to the meetings about the grants and made appointments to meet representatives from the Worcester Cultural Commission and discuss his project and get feedback about how to apply for the grant. After many hours of research, writing, and discussion, the application was complete and submitted. The wait was on.

Erb Photography is pleased to announce that the letter arrived in the mail just a few days ago, and Scott Erb was awarded the grant! This funding will make it possible for this project to become more than an idea in Scott’s mind.
