Fractured Atlas and the Yale Alumni Association of Metropolitan New York are co-hosting Fund Raising in a Box: Crowdsourcing Microgrants, a panel discussion in which artists and professionals will share their experience, advice, and ideas on the challenges that independent artists and small arts organizations face in securing vital funding and support for their work.

Following the discussion, attendees are invited to stay for a reception to meet and mingle with fellow arts professionals.

We would love for ELNYA members to attend the discussion and hopefully pose a challenging question or two to the panelists and moderator. The panel is scheduled for 9/23 at 7pm.
