RIDGWAY – The Elk County Council on the Arts is inviting artists in the area who want to take their career further and engage more in their community to the ECCOTA Gallery on March 21 for Funding Creativity.
Funding Creativity is an event series hosted by the Elk County Council on the Arts in an effort to showcase programs and opportunities for local artists through ECCOTA’s partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
The Elk County Council on the Arts is one of 14 partner organizations with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, servicing Elk, McKean, Potter, Cameron and Forest counties.
Artists from all five counties are encouraged to attend the event. Funding Creativity will be a chance for interested artists to get together and learn about granting and residency opportunities through ECCOTA’s programming, as well as serve as a networking opportunity for artists to ask questions and engage in discussion with ECCOTA’s staff.
Local organizations looking to expand their arts programming are also encouraged to attend. This will be ECCOTA’s fourth Funding Creativity event and the first held in Elk County.
The ECCOTA Gallery is located at 237 Main St., in Ridgway, and the event will last from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.
