Fractured Atlas Workshop
Fiscal Sponsorship and Insurance for Artists and Arts Organizations
Led by Dianne Debicella and Jean Ann Douglass from Fractured Atlas
How do I find money to support my work? What is fiscal sponsorship and is it right for me? What types of insurance should I be considering? If questions like these are keeping you up at night, then this is the workshop for you. This presentation is designed for individual artists or arts groups concerned with organizing a business and building support for your creative process.
