Dee Schneidman and Morganna Becker from the New England Foundation for the Arts will provide an overview of CreativeGround, NEFA’s free online directory made up of profiles for New England cultural nonprofits like theaters and community centers, artists of all disciplines, and creative businesses like design and marketing firms.

A demonstration will guide individuals and organizations through the process of creating and updating a comprehensive profile maximizing the profile’s searchability. The workshop will also demonstrate the detailed search options and the best ways to locate organizations, artists, and creative businesses engaging in specific disciplines, activities and services directed to certain populations and geographic regions. They will also talk about NEFA’s New England States Touring (NEST) Grant and how to become a NEST-eligible artist.
