Levering Investments in Creativity, the ten-year national initiative to improve working conditions for American artists, is looking for a media relations partner.
LINQ, according to its RFQ, represents working artists who make “resonant contributions to the daily lives of our communities, not only as creators, but also as entrepreneurs, educators and involved citizens.” Those artists are “typically underpaid in relation to their peers with similar education and skill sets.”
The group wants a PR partner with an “understanding of the current national arts environment, urban planning and community development issues and issues-based non-profit advocacy.”
LINC has received funding from the Ford Foundation, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Paul G. Allen Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and MetLife Foundation.
Aug. 8 is the deadline to respond to the RFQ. Three firms will be invited to submit a full-proposal on Aug. 15.
Presentations are penciled in for the week of Aug. 20. Taya Mueller (taya [at] lincnet [dot] net) has info.
