[FAC] Announcing Round III of the Investing in Artists progrm for Individual Artists

[Maria Franco]

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) is pleased to announce that the
Guidelines and Application Forms for Round III of the Investing in Artists
grants program are now available for download at
<http://www.cciarts.org/funding> www.cciarts.org/funding. Applications for
Round III are due in CCI's San Francisco office on June 6, 2008.

The Investing in Artists grants program is designed to enhance the working
lives and creative environment for California artists by funding tools and
market strategies that will allow them to create their best work more
consistently and distribute that work more broadly to new audiences. To
support those aims, Investing in Artists provides grants in two categories:
1) Artistic Equipment & Tools and 2) Presenting & Marketing Work. In this
third round of funding, applications will only be accepted in the Artistic
Equipment & Tools category and in the Presenting & Marketing Work
Implementation category.

CCI is hosting a series of conference calls and information sessions to
provide a general orientation to the Investing in Artists grants program.
