Join the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) and learn how to use CreativeGround, a free online directory of New England arts and cultural arts and culture assets like arts centers, libraries, museums, and artists of all disciplines.
In this presentation you will learn how you can use CreativeGround to:
+ Promote your work with a free, public Profile
+ Search for potential collaborators and resources in the region
+ Support creative asset mapping, cultural planning, and advocacy efforts
+ Facilitate connections and collaborations between those working within and beyond the creative sector
+ Facilitate opportunities to feature, engage, and hire local creatives
Learn more about how to parlay your CreativeGround profile into a potential grant opportunity with NEFA’s New England States Touring (NEST) program with members of NEFA’s Regional Grants & Initiatives team. We’ll cover how non-profit organizations can apply for NEST 1&2 grants to present New England performing, film, and literary artists, and how you can promote your work for these opportunities by becoming a NEST-eligible artist on CreativeGround.
This presentation by the New England Foundation for the Arts will provide an overview of CreativeGround, NEFA’s free online creative economy database, and the New England States Touring (NEST) program, a grant opportunity for performing artists across New England. This demonstration will guide individual performing artists through the process of creating and updating a comprehensive profile to maximize profile searchability, including acquiring and maintaining eligibility for the NEST program.
Thanks to the folks from Alliance for Digital Equity, we will have a Digital Navigator with us to help answer your tech questions. After the workshop you can book one on one follow up sessions at Northampton Open Media or drop in during their open hours.
