Florida Cultural Alliance
Contributor
Twenty-six of Florida’s 67 counties do not avail themselves of funding available through arts and culture grants. Most of these counties are considered rural with populations of less than 75,000.
In response to this finding, Florida Cultural Alliance, in partnership with several UF/IFAS County Extension agencies, is conducting a series of free workshops to increase awareness of support available to those planning to and already programming cultural activities in their communities. Workshops are available for Suwannee, Lafayette, Madison, Columbia, Bradford, Baker, Taylor, Putnam and Union Counties. The next workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 30, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Suwannee County UF/IFAS Extension office, located at 1302 11th St. SW, in Live Oak.
Who should attend:
- Self-employed artists
- Arts and culture organizations
- Educational institutions
- Municipalities
What attendees should expect to come away with:
- Knowledge of opportunities for funding support of art and cultural work.
- Understanding of how to search and apply for funding.
- Experience with Florida Department of State Grants portal.
- Toolkit for future grant-seeking.
There is no cost to attend. Materials will be provided. After the presentation and Q&A, facilitators will assist interested attendees in setting up accounts with the Florida Department of State Grants portal, the first step in applying.
