Creative Change Coalition, Technical Assistance Workshop: The Long Game – Federal funding for equitable community impacts through creative cross-sector strategies

This just in — Federal agencies are making historic investments to advance environmental justice and benefit disadvantaged communities. NOW is the time to renew and develop relationships between your local government staff, your elected officials, collaborating partners/organizations, and local artists to work together to tackle inequities, disparities, and systems change. 

But while the government provides technical assistance to help navigate the federal grant system to implement effective projects, the process can often feel complex, confusing, and too big to know where to start. 

In this Technical Assistance Workshop, you will hear from guest presenters from the National League of Cities, National Endowment for the Arts, Environmental Protection Network, Institute for Sustainable Communities, Art-Train (a program of Springboard for the Arts) and others who will offer insight on how to access federal support, navigate the grant system, and engage creative people in your community for this work. At the end of the workshop, for participants interested in continuing to connect with colleagues across the country, we will host an optional Open Hangout time.

Stay tuned for more information and the list of presenters.
