Florida Arts Network (FAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for the arts. The elimination of arts programs is usually the first thing to go when schools make budget cuts. This results in leaving many talented students without a creative outlet. We also recognize the importance of supporting those professionals that are already active in the arts community. Our goal as an organization, therefore, is fourfold.
· Partner with schools throughout the state to help fill those budget gaps through
donations of supplies or other available resources.
· Identify exceptional talent and help them further their development through
scholarships, instruments, or additional supplies.
· Support those that are already active in the arts community through events and
networking opportunities.
· Promote our message – The Artist’s Loft is a bi-weekly talk show, hosted by FAN,
that addresses all things art.
We need your help.
· The most obvious need is financial. In order to get things moving, we need your tax
deductible gifts. This could be in the form of:
o Monetary donations for FAN’s general fund
o Tangible items that can be sold, or used by schools or students
o Sponsors for our events
o Advertisers/sponsors for The Artist’s Loft (*advertisers can treat costs as
business deductions.)
· Time – we need volunteers to help us with:
o Fundraising – grant writers
o Public relations and marketing – professionals already working in the industry
or college students in their 3rd or 4th year of a PR or Marketing major willing to
work as interns)
o Event planning
o Administrative
· Experience – there are many of you that are experienced filmmakers, artists,
entertainers, writers, and entrepreneurs. We welcome your wisdom. We want to
know how we can help people just like you succeed in the arts.
As the organization grows, many of these volunteer positions will eventually become paid positions. In the meantime, please help us help you so that you, in turn, can help pave the way for our youth as up and coming artists.
