Arts organizations, too, can find useful information on NYFA Interactive, including descriptions of NYFA programs and several selective links pages to a variety of management, technology, and fundraising resources. Organizations, artists, and arts administrators all depend on the NYFA Classifieds, which is one of the leading national sources for jobs in the arts, one-time opportunities for artists not included in NYFA Source, and arts events.

"We posted a job opening on NYFA's Jobs in the Arts a couple of days ago and are getting an overwhelming response to it." --Frick Art Reference Library, New York, NY

Donors come to NYFA Interactive to discover a variety of ways of supporting artists, either through a NYFA program, a donor-advised fund, or through planned giving. Donors and the art curious can learn more about contemporary art in any discipline through articles commissioned for the site and an amazing gallery of nearly 4,000 artists associated with NYFA.

Maintaining the tradition of distribution of timely information, the popular Arts Wire Current email digest became NYFA Current with the launch of the new Web site. In April 2004, however, the publication was reconceived to allow artists and critics from across the country to comment on trends and movements in the art world as they happen, with bi-weekly features, rants and raves on the contemporary arts scene, and artists' insider perspectives. Acceptance of the new editorial focus was striking, doubling the number of email subscribers in just nine months to 10,000, with many additional readers who access it directly through the Web site.

NYFA’s oldest information resource, now called NYFA Quarterly, an arts and culture magazine of information and analysis now includes expanded deadlines drawn from NYFA Source. Each issue also features interviews with current NYFA Artist Fellows along with reproduction of their work on the front cover of the magazine and in a two-page center spread. Recent feature articles have included a review of the international exhibition Documenta; a “curators’ chat” with Eungie Joo, Lauri Firstenberg, and Franklin Sirmans; an article on the state of art criticism, and a comprehensive overview of recent developments in experimental jazz music.

Chalkboard, the arts-and-education insert in the spring and fall issues of NYFA Quarterly, continued to serve teaching artists by addressing arts-and-education topics on the state, national, and international levels. The publication’s back page, “Field Notes,” provides practical information on deadlines, conferences, and further resources—such as publications and Web sites—related to the articles.
