The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI), in partnership with The James Irvine Foundation and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, is pleased to offer NextGen Professional Development Grants to emerging arts administrators in California through Creative Capacity Fund. Under the NextGen Arts Leadership Initiative, emerging arts leaders currently working for a nonprofit arts organization may be eligible to apply for up to $1,000 in grant subsidies to take workshops, attend conferences or work with career coaches or management consultants.
 
To be eligible, arts administrators, artists and board members between the ages of 18 and 35 who have not already answered the questionnaire must register online by completing the NextGen Survey, which is providing valuable data to arts funders and program providers about the needs of California's emerging arts leaders.

The online questionnaire can be accessed through the link below:
