The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The James Irvine Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of the Next Gen Arts Initiative, which will provide professional development grants up to $1,000 to emerging arts administrators in California through the Center for Cultural Innovation's Creative Capacity Fund, along with other program activities.

California arts administrators between the ages of 18 and 35 who are currently employed by a nonprofit arts organization may be eligible to apply for these new grant resources by registering online and completing a profile questionnaire by July 31, 2010.

Cash prizes of $100 each will also be given to five survey-takers chosen in a random drawing at the conclusion of the survey - another way for us to say thank you!

The online questionnaire can be accessed through the link below:
