- Intensive professional development training providing the fundamental principles for starting and running an arts business
-
Group learning with a small community of other arts start-ups, as well as one-on-one mentorship and coaching with NYFA staff and experts in appropriate fields
-
Subsidized legal and accounting services for the duration of the program
-
Strategic and business planning assistance
- Free, customized consultations in fundraising, marketing, real estate, insurance, technology, and any other area relevant to the needs of each individual enterprise, by experts in those fields.
-
Fiscal sponsorship for nonprofit start-ups
Applications due January 23, 2015. Visit our website for more details and full application guidelines.
