Saturday, June 21, 2008 at ArtServe, 9:00 - 1:00 a.m.
Broward Cultural Division and the South Florida Regional Planning Council will offer an informational clinic and workshop to assist applicants for the Artist Micro Credit Program on Saturday, June 21, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at ArtServe, 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. This workshop is for prospective Broward-based artists to become familiar with the program's policies and guidelines.
The Artist Micro Credit Program is a community-based, revolving loan program created to respond to a broad range of artists' needs, i.e: purchasing equipment, completing a project, or taking advantage of an opportunity. Loan applicants are reviewed on a rolling basis as they are received. Designed to assist Broward-based practicing professionals, and emerging artists (of all disciplines) to advance their work and careers, these loans may help with projects that are not capable of being funded from other conventional sources. On a funds-available basis, the program can provide up to a maximum of $5,000.
The session will cover the application process, how to work effectively with lenders, and a clinic on how to prepare a simple business plan, an essential tool for any artist.
Attendance at the workshop is highly recommended for Broward-based artists and alumni of the Artists as an Entrepreneur Institute. There is no fee for this 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.
