LMCC's core fundraising series is designed to help artists develop knowledge and skills in raising the resources to support their practice. The series features five free workshops and a follow-up session of one-on-one grantwriting consultations for participants who attend three or more workshops. Covered topics include: the funding ecosystem, grantwriting, budgeting, work sample dos and don'ts, and cultivating individual donors.

The series is free, but space is limited and registration is required for each workshop on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants who attend three or more workshops in the series will be invited to participate in a one-on-one grantwriting consultation later in July.

Artists Summer Institute (ASI) is a five-day intensive professional development opportunity for artists. The program, created and developed in partnership between LMCC and Creative Capital, brings together both organizations' programs to provide more comprehensive, arts-focused training, tools, and advice to help put artists on a path to greater sustainability and self-sufficiency.

Space is limited to 55 participants. Due to high demand, eligible participants will be selected through a lottery process.

The participating artists practice a variety of artistic disciplines from across New York City and were chosen by a lottery process.

From April 15–May 20 artists meet every week to develop a greater financial awareness and balance through practical training in money management.

Art & Resilience
What We Learned

We heard from three leaders in the field who shared their expertise with artists on important business areas such as Record Keeping / Archiving, Insurance, and Legal Issues. Artists also received information on all topics including emergency preparedness, which were helpful in providing an incentive to start getting organized.

"Preparing for an emergency is a process that takes time, focus, and the appropriate tools and resources. It also takes a strong network/group of like-minded colleagues and friends with whom you can collaborate, as well as share and exchange information, resources, ideas, best practices, tools, and tips."
Art & Resilience workshop leader Susan Schear,
ARTISIN, LLC

"As a young, emerging artist, this was helpful in terms of planting the seeds I will need as I grow my practice!"
