Rory Golden, Program Officer of External Affairs at the New York Foundation for the Arts, will explain NYFA’s programs and services, including fiscal sponsorship, which is a critical way for individual artists, artists' collaborative projects, and emerging arts organizations in all disciplines to apply for funding usually available only to organizations with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The right fiscal sponsor will not only allow you to manage your project efficiently, but can actually help artists raise more money and realize artistic visions more fully. Other free services will also be discussed, including:
Rory Golden brings strong experience in supporting artists and an active artist’s professional practice to his position at NFYA. As Executive Director at the Center for Book Arts (2000–2004) in New York, Rory established various new programs to support artists. These included a new exhibition series, a letterpress broadsides poetry reading series, a workspace artist-in-residence program for emerging artists, and a tuition-free class for emerging writers. He left the position in 2004 to pursue his own challenging creative projects. Before taking on the position at NYFA, Golden was Studio Manager at the Atlanta Printmakers Studio.
Rory has exhibited his artwork widely in both solo and group shows at venues such as Eyedrum and the Spruill Gallery in Atlanta, the Denver International Airport and both the San Francisco and New York Public Libraries. His work has been recognized with fellowships from Yaddo, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Blue Mountain Center and the National Academy of Fine Arts. Recent grants include an Idea Capital Grant, a Puffin Foundation Grant, and a recent research grant from Duke University Libraries Special Collections.
