This Professional Developement workshop will explore alternative funding strategies for visual artists.
Join us for a panel discussion on how to raise funds for your artistic practice beyond just selling your art - including how to cultivate direct relationships with local businesses; how to receive public funding from local and state governments; and how to raise charitable donations and grants as a nonprofit or with a fiscal sponsor.
PANELISTS:
Lisa Burger (President & Executive Director of Independent Arts & Media)
Amy Kweskin (Consultant and Coach at ArtSightful )
Ron Moultrie Saunders ( Artist and SFAC Grant Awardee)
MODERATOR:
Justin Hoover (Co-Founder and Principal of Collective Action Studio)
