New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) will provide a dance-focused conversation about NEFA’s presenting and touring grants – including New England Dance Fund, New England States Touring (NEST) grant, and National Dance Project. Staff will also give a demonstration of CreativeGround, NEFA’s free online cultural directory. CreativeGround quantifies and spotlights the region’s robust creative community and enables users to find and connect with the region’s cultural nonprofits like theaters and community centers, artists of all disciplines, and creative businesses like design and marketing firms.
The CreativeGround team will guide individuals and organizations through the process of creating and updating a comprehensive profile maximizing the profile’s searchability. This session will also showcase the detailed search options and the best ways to locate organizations, artists, and creative businesses engaging in specific disciplines, activities and services that make up New England’s unique creative economy.
