A Beginning


Faced with numerous challenges, arts organizations need to be creative in developing new ways of funding their missions and programs. In response, the New York Council of Nonprofits with the support of the New York State Council on the Arts offered the first of two Entrepreneurial Ventures for the Arts trainings in NYC.
The conversation was great, the food was good, and participants not only shared their venture ideas, but they discovered shared opportunities just through their interaction and networking. There was plenty of information related, and participants explored the world of entrepreneurial ventures, discussing topics ranging from tax implications to the funding environment.
As the discussion of ideas continues, NYCON has launched this simple blog to help facilitate the development of these ventures. We invite you to post your ideas and questions here.
