In this talk, Eleanor Billington, the Civic Partnerships Manager for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), will present on two of the agency's most valuable funding opportunities: the "Grants for Arts Projects (GAP)" program and the "Challenge America" program.  This talk will offer artists at FSU an opportunity to consider how they might bring their creative aspirations to fruition with federal funding.  Ms. Billington will present a brief PowerPoint for 10-15 minutes on the GAP and Challenge America programs and then open the floor for questions and conversation.  Audience members are encouraged to bring questions related to their own projects.
