Grant: Investing in Artists

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) is pleased to announce that the Guidelines and Application Forms for Round II of the Investing in Artists grants program are now available for download at www.cciarts.org/funding

Applications for Round II must be received in CCI's San Francisco office on January 11, 2008.

The Investing in Artists grant program is designed to enhance the working lives and creative environment for California artists by funding tools and market strategies that will allow them to create their best work more consistently, and distribute that work more broadly to new audiences. To support those aims, Investing in Artists provides grants in two categories: 1) Artistic Equipment & Tools; and 2) Presenting & Marketing Work.

Response to Round I of the Investing in Artists grants program was extremely encouraging, but we know that there are still many artists in California that we have yet to reach. Please help us in spreading the word about this unique funding opportunity by forwarding this email to artists in your networks.

If you have any questions about the Center for Cultural Innovation or the Investing in Artists program, please contact Emily Sevier, Programs Manager, at (800) 418-1671 (toll-free number) or by email at grants@cciarts.org
