About Me

Visit Our Website: www.fracturedatlas.org

Fractured Atlas is a non-profit organization that serves a national community of artists and arts organizations. Our programs and services facilitate the creation of art by offering vital support to the artists who produce it. We help artists and arts organizations function more effectively as businesses by providing access to funding, healthcare, education, and more, all in a context that honors their individuality and independent spirit. By nurturing today's talented but underrepresented voices, we hope to foster a dynamic and diverse cultural landscape of tomorrow.

We provide artists and small arts organizations with (among other things): low-cost healthcare insurance, fiscal sponsorship (so you can solicit tax-deductible donations for your art!), press and publicity packages, .. classes, audience development services, an awesome calendar of events, .. support and networking forums, arts advocacy events, one-on-one intensives with arts consultants, discounts to artistic events and organizations, development grants, networking events, jobbanks (including ArtSearch!), cash-flow loans, and low-cost event and film liability insurance.
