SECTION 1
ARTS
AND
CRAFTS
Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities
and hobbies that are related to making things with
one's hands and skill.
These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or
"traditional crafts" (doing things the old way)
and "the rest". Some crafts have been practised
for centuries, while others are modern inventions,
or popularisations of crafts which were originally
practised in a very small geographic area.
Most crafts require a combination of skill, speed,
and patience, but they can also be learnt on a more
basic level by virtually anyone.
Many community centres and schools run evening or
day classes and workshops offering to teach basic
craft skills in a short period of time. Many of
these crafts become extremely popular for brief
periods of time (a few months, or a few years),
spreading rapidly among the crafting population
as everyone emulates the first examples, then
their popularity wanes until a later resurgence.

BUSINESS
GRANTS
FOR
WOMEN
IN
ARTS
AND
CRAFTS
Starting a business in the field of
arts and crafts can be the key to
finding your passion and doing
something you love.
But starting a new business requires
funds. It's not always feasible to
front all the costs of starting a
business. And while taking a loan or
using credit cards is an option,
grants are preferred because they
aren't required to be paid back.
So you can focus on getting your
business off the ground without
worrying about paying the money
back.

SMALL
BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The Small Business Administration (SBA)
is an independent agency of the federal
government whose purpose is to help
entrepreneurs start, build and grow
their companies.
They do this by operating vast networks
of field offices that provide support
to local small businesses. In addition,
they partner with public and private
organizations.
Its services are offered through the
United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and Guam. The SBA's
grants are typically awarded to
organizations that provide small
business management or those that
provide technical or financial
assistance.
Therefore it may be a better fit for
graphic design artists than performing
artists. But its grant programs are
definitely worth looking into.

NATIONAL
ENDOWMENT
FOR
THE
ARTS
