'Access To Artistic Excellence' Broward Cultural Division Wins Grant Award
Broward Cultural Division Receives
Access to Artistic Excellence Grant Award
To support the design and implementation of a series of specialized professional development programs for Broward arts organizations and artists
Broward County Board of County Commissioners' Broward Cultural Division recently received a grant award from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The "Access to Artistic Excellence" award of $42,000 is to support the design and implementation of a series of specialized professional development programs and workshop services entitled, Broward Cultural Division Investing in Leadership Series.
In partnership with ArtServe, Inc, NEA supported workshops included: Jeff Trabucco, Director of Network Licensing, Artsopolis Marketing Partnership; Creating Your Own Success: An Investment for Artists- workshop- with Jackie Battenfield; Marketing for the Independent Artist: How to Advance Your Career and Build Your Business with Deborah Obalil; and A Strategy for Culture in the Age of Infinite Choice, with ArtsJournal's founder and editor Doug McLennan. Upcoming programs include workshops with the Nonprofit Finance Fund, and the Artist as an Entrepreneur Institute. The Division will be working with other community funders to continue to present additional workshops through June 2011.
Access to Artistic Excellence encourages and supports artistic creativity, preserves diverse cultural heritage, and makes the arts more widely available in communities throughout the country. Particularly relevant at this time are projects that demonstrate innovation by generating new forms of art making, new directions in the field, and/or innovative uses of creative resources.
Broward County, Fla. is home to more than 5,600 arts-related businesses that employ more than 21,800 people. These arts centric businesses play an important role in building and sustaining economic vibrancy. The NEA recognizes that many of the most effective projects encompass both artistic excellence and enhanced access. Investment in the creative industries is critical to develop a committed, well-informed and cultural workforce.
