Erie Arts & Culture welcomes Jacksonville-based street photographer Malcolm Jackson as the agency’s next visiting artist in residence. Malcolm will spend the entirety of December navigating the streets and neighborhoods of Erie's urban core to document community life. Malcolm will meet with students at the Inner City Neighborhood Art House on December 7 to speak with them about his career path and work as a photographer. This visiting artist residency program is made possible through the generous support of a privately funded grant from The Erie Community Foundation.
Erie Arts & Culture announced the availability of two new grant programs developed to support both creatives and non-profit organizations across the commonwealth-- The Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program and Entry to Program Stream.
The Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program matches eligible creative entrepreneurs with existing, free, local, small business consulting services and financial resources ranging from $500 to $2,000 to help them grow their businesses, audiences, and revenue.
Entry to Program Stream offers a new pathway for small arts organizations and programs to receive ongoing, unrestricted funding. The grant provides general operating support, which helps organizations strengthen their core capacity, engage in critical planning activities, and pay expenses related to staffing, business functions, and programming.
