Hi,

If you haven't yet read it... I urge you to read the report I wrote for the
Rockefeller Foundation titled, "New Media Arts | New Funding Models" --
abstract below.
The report is available for free download at my web site
http://digital-bauhaus.com/html/mediaArtReport/reportabstract.html

The report explores the very issue of self-sustainability for new media
artists and non-profit organizations.  As well, it offers first hand advice
and experiences from the trenches of the funding community.

Yes the report is US centric.  But I've received more downloads from
northern and eastern Europe than the US.

cheers,

Pamela

Report Abstract

                     New Media Art/ New Funding Models report investigates
the current state of
                     funding for new media artists.  The emphasis is on the
support structures for
                     innovative creative work that utilizes advances
technologies as the main vehicle for
                     artistic practice.

organizers, directors, and foundation
                     program officers involved in the international new
media arts community were
                     interviewed.  Participants were asked a number of
questions regarding how they
                     frame new media art, concerns from the field, funding
histories, and concepts for
                     funding models.  Several participants are involved in
new initiatives that bridge the
                     for-profit and non-profit funding sectors including
artists' research centers,
                     innovative business models, new approaches for
traditional funding sources,
                     incubators, venture funding, and leveraging community.
