work & services

I have experience writing and editing grants, proposals, website copy, and other critical materials for artists and curators.

I am currently the Development Projects Coordinator at SCI-Arc.

Previously, I was the Project Coordinator with Brackish Water Los Angeles, an art and research project housed at the CSUDH University Art Gallery, part of The Getty Foundation’s PST ART 2024. I was the primary Grants Writer for Los Angeles Nomadic Division and Clockshop, and continue to work with a number of freelance clients in the LA arts non-profit sphere, securing grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mike Kelley Foundation, the LA Department of Cultural Affairs, Andy Warhol Foundation, and many others.

Previously, I have taught and tutored writing with 826LA, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the Hammer Museum, CalArts Community Arts Partnership, Collegewise, and the CalArts School of Critical Studies. I was Special Faculty at CalArts from 2020-2023, overseeing the Writing Center and teaching ELL Writing Workshops at the MFA level.

I am available for hire for grant writing, general writing / editing support, project management, and guest teaching. Please email sarahsophiayanni [at] gmail [dot] com.
