I'm pleased to announce that I've been awarded a Grant from the Creative Capacity Fund's NextGen Arts Professional Development Program. It will fund my attendance at the College Art Association's 100th Annual Conference in February, 2012 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The Creative Capacity Fund (CCF) was launched in 2009 by a consortium of California arts funders to strengthen the work of artists and arts administrators by improving access to the information and professional development resources needed to lead the nonprofit arts sector. Administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, CCF was conceived as a proactive response to the economic downturn, changing demographics and looming leadership transitions that are placing extraordinary strain on the nonprofit arts system, and the people who work in it.
