These are resources for individual artists. It's unclear to me if this is a good idea to do this here, or if other organizations do it better. I am also nervous about confusion about the audience for this site. As long as it clear what's for administrators/organizations and what's for artists, then I think it's ok.

One argument in favor of these resources living here is that many organizations that *do* support individual artists are often asked for resources like this, so it seems silly for every foundation and arts agency to reinvent the wheel.

TODO: Lots more to add here, and probably many more categories once we start compiling more resources

Marketing

Sale Strategies

Internet and Social Media

Education

Emergency Resources

Funding Resources

  • NOTE: this is not meant to be a list of funding opportunities (those get stale and out-of-date really quickly), but a list of sites that do track funding opportunities

Health Care and Insurance

Legal Services for Artists

Resources
