Artists involved in the creative industries are a vital component of an area’s job creation and retention.
The Broward County Cultural Division and the South Florida Regional Planning Council offer a Micro Credit program (revolving loan funding) to assist with financing Broward-based artists and their projects.
In addition, the program offers an Artist as an Entrepreneurial Institute (AEI) to assist an artist’s business expertise to operate their unique enterprise.
The Artist Micro Credit Program is designed to assist Broward-based practicing, professional, and emerging artists, to advance their work and careers.
A premise of the program is that gaps exist in traditional lending markets and that some creditworthy artists, and their artistic businesses, cannot qualify for financing.
This program provides assistance to eligible individual artists and arts-related businesses, who cannot obtain funding from conventional sources.
Micro Credit Loan Amounts On a funds-available basis, the program will award established amounts ranging from: $1,000 up to a maximum of $5,000. *Applicants are eligible to submit only one application within an eighteen (18) month funding period, AND may only re-apply after repayment of any outstanding loans to this program are completed.
