There will be a free workshop for application to this program on Saturday, March 1, 2008, at Nova Southeastern University from 2:00 -3:00 pm
BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Broward Cultural Division and the South Florida Regional Planning Council will offer an informational workshop to introduce the new Artist Micro Credit Program on Saturday, March 1, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the Alvin Sherman Library, Research, and Information Technology Center, Room 4009, Nova Southeastern University, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr., Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33314. This workshop is for prospective Broward-based artists to become familiar with the program’s policies and guidelines.
The Artist Micro Credit Program is designed to assist Broward-based practicing, professional, and emerging artists (of all disciplines) to advance their work and careers with financing of their projects. Certain entrepreneurial projects are not capable of being funded by grant-makers, or the philanthropic sector. This revolving-loan program provides assistance to eligible individual artists and arts-related businesses that may not obtain funding from conventional sources.
The program does not provide a line of credit. Awards are unsecured personal term loans, with an interest rate set by perceived credit risk (individual credit score), as well as the term of the loan. On a funds-available basis, the program will award established amounts ranging from $1,000 up to a maximum of $5,000.
Attendance at the workshop is highly recommended, for artists and alumni of the Artists as an Entrepreneur Institute. There is no fee for this afternoon workshop. Interested persons may register online at www.broward.org/arts and click on “Workshops.” For additional information, contact James Shermer, grants administrator, Broward Cultural Division at 954-357-7502, E-mail: jshermer@broward.org. |
