Creative Capital will be offering new Workshop Subsidy Grants through its Professional Development Program, which helps artists to manage the business side of their art with greater efficiency and results. Thanks to the generous support of the Kresge Foundation, funding for Workshop Subsidy Grants is earmarked to increase the diversity of participating artists. Organizations can apply for grants to offer these workshops to artists for a significantly reduced fee.  Subsidies ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 are available for a limited number of workshops in planning, internet, and verbal communications, to be held in 2011 and 2012.

The deadline for applicants wishing to host a workshop held in 2011, which must be submitted online, is 5:30pm eastern time on June 30, 2010. For applicants interested in hosting a 2012 workshop, the deadline will be announced in the spring of 2011.
