The Arts Council of New Orleans has announced a free workshop for arts non-profits and small businesses, to be held on Wednesday, August 15th at 6pm at the Palma Gallery (828 Howard Ave). They'll be discussing fundraising and financing strategies through the use of loans and grants...definitely important topics for anyone involved in an arts-related non-profit.This free workshop is made possible through Seedco Financial's ArtBusiness Initiative, which recently granted $50,000 to provide support to arts-related businesses and non-profits in the greater New Orleans area. I'm so glad to see this kind of workshop offered, and especially made free to the public. The arts are very important to me, and absolutely essential to keeping the spirit of New Orleans alive during the rebuilding process. The Arts Council does a lot of great work around the city, including offering an Arts Business Program, as well as maintaining the city's Arts Market (which grew out of the Mid-city art market).
RSVP for the workshop is requested: you can send an email to let them know you're coming or call Gene Meneray at 504-218-8869.
