The program offers free online resources and training opportunities. New this year, made possible by the Moody Foundation and the Theodore and Beulah Beasley Foundation , the Sammons Center will provide incubator residents and virtual office partners access to the Foundation Directory Online, a useful grant research tool that helps identify new funding opportunities. With expanded support, Art-Works will also offer more free or low-cost training opportunities to strengthen the arts community with workshops beginning Fall 2025.
