As a follow-up to our April 9th webinar, 3 Ways to Protect Your Art Business NOW (archived here), Claire Van Holland and Jill James revisit one aspect of the federal CARES Stimulus Expansion Act meant to help small businesses and sole-proprietors stay afloat during the economic crisis--the Paycheck Protection Program (or PPP). 

  • If you applied and received PPP funds, this webinar will provide guidance on how to make sure you get loan forgiveness.
  • If you did not receive PPP funds (or if the funds weren't enough to cover your expenses), we will discuss ways to generate revenue to keep your business afloat, temporarily or for the long-haul.
