The message below is from Marisa Catalina Casey of Starting Artists at 211 Smith Street. The non-profit organization needs one minute of your time!




Help a local arts nonprofit to win $20,000!


Starting Artists, Inc. (SA) a community-based arts nonprofit in
Brooklyn is a finalist in the July Ideablob.com contest. Ideablob.com
is a social-enterprise project run by Advanta credit cards and
encourages entrepreneurs to enter their new business ideas to compete
each month for a $10,000 cash prize. If the winning business is also
an Advanta customer, Ideablob.com will award it $20,000!
SA benefits under-served youth through hands-on training in the
arts and entrepreneurship. Free after-school classes in the media arts
and business inspire middle and high school youth to create arts-based
enterprises. SA would be able to fund more of these student-run businesses with the $20,000 of winnings from the Ideablob.com contest,
which would have far-reaching positive benefits for Brooklyn,
especially SA's immediate community of Downtown Brooklyn, Cobble Hill,
Boerum Hill, Park Slope, and Red Hook.
