BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Broward Cultural Division and Nova Southeastern University invites artists and the cultural community to a half-day workshop, Applying for Project Grant Funding for the Artist to assist individual artists on preparing grant applications for project funding. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Nova Southeastern University’s Alvin Sherman Library, Room 4009, Research and Information Technology Center, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Blvd. in Davie.
The workshop will be a unique training session to assist individual artists, working in all disciplines, with preparing effective proposals for “project-based” grant funding. Participants will learn how to: develop an artist’s biography and artist’s statement; prepare an audience profile (identify the qualities and characteristics of audiences attracted by one’s art work and utilize the profile in the proposal process); create a proposal description based on the project’s vision; develop a project/proposal budget (with a case study to explore the budget development process); and prepare work samples.
The facilitator, Luz Rodriguez, bilingual training coordinator at the Foundation Center, is a seasoned fundraising professional, educator, and artist who combines her artistic sensitivities with her knowledge of U.S. philanthropy to guide and inspire artists of all genres to equip them with the information and tools they need to bring their project visions to reality. Her professional development workshops for artists have been offered nationally and internationally, most recently at the Broward Cultural Division’s Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute, Artist Space in New York and Centro Leon Cultural Center in the Dominican Republic.
There will also be a free Artist Micro Credit Program workshop on the same day and same place from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. The Artist’s Micro Credit Program is designed to assist Broward-based practicing, professional, and emerging artists, to advance their work and careers with financing of their projects. This new “revolving-loan” program can provide assistance to eligible individual artists and arts-related businesses that may not obtain funding from conventional sources.
Applying for Project Grant Funding for the Artist has a workshop fee of $25, which includes resource materials. Hourly parking is available at $1 per hour, next to the Alvin Sherman Library (visit www.nova.edu/library/about/mapdir.html).
