Dear friend,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in The Gathering- 2016!
Last year, we had an amazing turnout of over 60 Black female choreographers, scholars, teachers, and administrators who gathered to support, and encourage each other in the spirit of sisterhood. We were also so happy to share the space with allies. It was a very powerful evening!
This year, we are excited to announce THE GATHERING PARTNERS:
New York Live Arts (NYLA)
The Field
Dance/NYC
It is thrilling to have this kind of support and generosity from these fantastic organizations!
THE FIELD is generously giving two FREE workshops during The Gathering!!!
Building a Sustainable Creative Life: Asking for Support
Artists who aren't afraid of 'NO' are great at asking donors for support. Learn how to tenaciously ask for and get the support you need whether you are making and in-person ask or developing solicitation materials. You can raise money confidently, meet your goal and build a sustainable creative life. Get some sound advice from The Field's Artist Services Manager Shawn René Graham on how to get your creative life started off on the good foot!
Creating an Accurate Financial Picture: Tips for Budget Preparation
Afraid of numbers? Don't know where to start when determining the costs of your show? Learn how to develop a complete financial picture of your artistic projects step by step. A clear, sound budget positions you for successful individual giving campaigns and is an important component of a competitive grant proposal. With many years of budget preparation under her belt, The Field's Executive Director Jennifer Wright Cook will provide you with tips and tools and answer questions about budget preparation.
Due to limited space, there are only 25 openings available per workshop.
