Assets for Artists 2012 Grant Applications Open!
MASSACHUSETTS artists, apply now! Our Fall 2012 application is available
Announcing Assets for Artists’ Fall 2012 grant cycle for artist-entrepreneurs living in or operating their businesses from Massachusetts.
Apply now and join a group of MA artists who have been growing their businesses with the help of Assets for Artists since 2008!
Eligible applicants include artists in all disciplines – visual artists, performers, designers, photographers, film-makers, artisans, etc. — whose practice would benefit from the opportunity to receive working capital funds and improve their financial and business management skills to make valuable investments aimed at growing their creative enterprises. By meeting savings goals and by completing the required training, participating Massachusetts artists can receive $2,000 in grant funds as a savings match for “working capital” to grow their creative enterprise. Three training sessions on personal finance and business management for artists will be provided for free. All sessions will be offered in Lowell, Pittsfield, and Boston (specific dates TBA) and are designed to help the participants reach their personal savings goal and develop a basic business plan for investing the funds.
