From our friends at the New York Foundation for the Arts:
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is now accepting applications for the “Artist as Entrepreneur” Boot Camp. Applications are due on April 26 and classes begin June 12, 2010. The Boot Camp will provide artists working in all disciplines (literary, media, performing and visual) with the business skills they need to further their artistic careers. There is no charge for participation.
The Boot Camp begins on June 12 and will take place over 5 day-long sessions at NYFA’s office at 20 Jay Street in DUMBO. Participating artists can expect the sessions to spark goals and help to define concrete steps to building a business plan that can lead to financial security.
The Boot Camp is open to artists and members of creative teams working all disciplines. They must be residents of New York City and have internet access. The application is due on April 26 and is currently available on NYFA’s website.
For questions, please contact Peter Cobb at pcobb@nyfa.org or Felicity Hogan at Clearning@nyfa.org.
Making a cultural loop through the lower Grand Concourse, the Bronx Culture Trolley enables its passengers to sample several of the area’s hottest cultural attractions, dining establishments and entertainment venues on the first Wednesday evening of the month. The trolley ride and admission to participating venues along its route are free.
