Rory Golden

I am excited about my new position at Program Officer of External Affairs – Fiscal Sponsorship at the New York Foundation for the Arts ( www.nyfa.org ). Fiscal Sponsorship http://www.nyfa.org/level2.asp?id=2&fid=10 Fiscal Sponsorship is a critical way for individual artists across all disciplines, artists' collaborative projects, and emerging arts organizations in all disciplines to apply for funding usually available only to organizations with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The right fiscal sponsor will not only allow you to manage your project efficiently, but can actually help artists to raise more money and realize their artistic visions more fully.

I will be marketing and promoting NYFA’s fiscal Sponsorship program to give more artists this important opportunity to fundraise for and implement creative projects. In particular, I am so pleased and honored to work for NYFA, whose mission is in alignment with what matters to me – to empower artists at critical stages in their creative lives. As both an arts administrator and a professional artist I am so grateful and honored to take on this position with NYFA, the largest provider of funding, information & services to artists in the United States .

My commitment to my own studio practice is strengthened. I have a great space in Brooklyn in which to work and I have several upcoming opportunities that are very exciting….including participating as a visiting artist in this year’s Art Papers Magazine fundraising auction http://www.artpapers.org (back to the ATL in February!).

I’ll be traveling a lot in the coming year to promote NYFA’s programs around the country. I have trips planned to LA, Atlanta and Ohio in the coming months, with Chicago, Seattle and Minneapolis in the works. If you know artists or organizations that I can network with in these cities please let me know!
