Arts funding workshop today

Today the city’s Cultural Arts Division will hold the first in a monthly series of workshops for groups interested in applying for Community Initiatives Program funding. That money is intended to give members of historically underrepresented communities equitable access to funding opportunities. The program is open to individual artists, nonprofit groups or other unincorporated organizations in Austin and the greater metro area. Proposed activities must involve the marketing, production and presentation of a live performance or artistic exhibition open to residents and tourists. The session will take place from noon to 1 p.m. at the Cultural Arts Division’s new location, 5202 E. Ben White Blvd., Suite 400. RSVP and get more information.
