Are there GRANTS for ARTISTS that want to start a small business???

A mom's wish started this conversation

 

I've heard that there is money available, through grant programs that can help start a business.  I've also heard that there may be grants available especially for women, entreprenurs and maybe for artists.  I want to start my own decorative painting business, and really have very little means of doing so currently.  I want to try and become independent as my marriage is on the rocks.  I'm not looking for a free ride, or anything that is not honest.  I just wanted to inquire about the grant programs that I've heard so much about.  If I can get this going, I would eventually like to start up a childrens art studio with monthly art auctions in our community.  I live in Benicia, CA which would truly appreciate such a creative place.  We are a very art oriented town, and I think it would fit in perfectly.

I think the amount I would require is around $5,000.00 - $10,000.00.  I know a formal business plan would be necessary to come up with a better estimate, whick is what I am working on, now.

Hi, Browsing AidPages can give you ideas about grants and loans available for women-enterpreneurs. Of course, you can search for any business or small business grants, not only for women-enterpreneurs. In the next section I have posted a link to a site about grants for women's business in California. Hope this helps.
