> organizations, and the general public free online access to NYFA
> Source, the nation’s most extensive databank of grants,
> residencies, publications, and sources of information and
> assistance for artists of all disciplines.
>
> An easy-to-use search engine will allow users to narrow queries by
> discipline, location, gender, age group, application deadline, and
> more. In addition to the web site, artists may receive personal
> assistance by calling 1-800-232-2789 (3-5 p.m., EST, Mon-Fri) or e-
> mail their requests to source@nyfa.org.

> NYFA Source is just one facet of NYFA Interactive, designed to
> interact with and serve the needs of four distinct audiences:
> artists, art organizations, donors, and an audience not previously
> addressed on NYFA’s former web site — the art-curious public. At
> www.nyfa.org, visitors will be able to find cultural news, events,
> and valuable resources for contemporary arts. NYFA seeks to involve
> and educate members of the public who are interested in learning
> more about contemporary art, specific disciplines, or artists.
>
> NYFA is also creating an online gallery that will feature works by
> more than 3,000 NYFA grantees. These include Laurie Anderson
> (performance art), Spike Lee (film), Billy Collins (poetry), David
> Henry Hwang (playwriting), Andres Serrano (photography), Shirin
> Neshat (media arts), Barbara Kruger (painting), Alan Jay Kernis
> (music composition), Terry McMillan (fiction), and many others.
> Beta testing has included artists and arts organizations throughout
> the country. A preview of the new site is available at www.nyfa.org/
> preview.
