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.

Informational workshops on the Artist Micro Credit Program application process are available for applicants to become familiar with the policies and guidelines. Attendance at a workshop is highly recommended.

The Committee is comprised of staff from the South Florida Regional Planning Council, the Broward Cultural Council, local artists, micro-enterprise lenders, and business development analysts.
