Twenty-four Broward County artists, will be selected through a Call to Artist application process to attend the Creative Capital Seminar in November. The Broward Cultural Division is one of nineteen national recipients of the 2011 Workshop Subsidy Grants from Creative Capital’s Professional Development Program (PDP) to present this seminar locally.

To be considered, Broward artists will be submitting proposals to participate in the seminar by an online application.  Participants will be chosen by a competitive review and panel selection process. The Division is delighted to be able to offer 24 Broward artists this one-time opportunity to train with Creative Capital’s faculty.
