This may be the funniest perspective on submitting proposal by Chris Lynn, director of SPACES Gallery in Cleveland, OH (of course it perhaps is most humorous to arts administrators and exhibition organizers, not submitting artists). He outlines some of the major pitfalls in proposal writing.
Two OVAC workshops in September will offer help for artists about proposal writing. Geared toward applying for OVAC’s Art 365 exhibition and Momentum Spotlight, workshops will take place September 10: 6-8 pm at Tulsa Artists Coalition Gallery, 9 E Brady, Tulsa and September 15: 6-8 pm at IAO Gallery, 706 W Sheridan Ave, Oklahoma City.
Past Art 365 artist Liz Roth will present, offering tips about what makes a successful proposal. Roth is who has participated in residencies around the world, shown her work nationwide, and received lots of grant money. She is also a professor at Oklahoma State University who teaches professional practices to art majors. An OVAC representative will answer questions about the specifics of Art 365 and Momentum Spotlight.

That SPACES article is great. Be sure to read part 2! quote:
'Other types of exhibitions include: “Crap in a Room,” “Things That are White,” and “Trying Very Hard to Look Very Bad.”'
