Fractured Atlas Inc.

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. Fractured Atlas was founded in 1998 by current Executive Director Adam Forest Huttler. Since then Fractured Atlas has launched a broad range of programs and services, including the Artists Affordable Healthcare Initiative, which grew into the multi-faceted range of health care options we offer today. Fractured Atlas’ fiscal sponsorship program has grown from 6 local groups to over 1,000 nationally, and in 2008 our membership topped 5,000 artists and arts organizations, with an expanded audience of 55,000 through the Open Arts Network. In recent years we have added liability insurance, professional development, and advocacy to our activities. As the only service organization to serve the needs of arts groups as well as individual artists in all disciplines, Fractured Atlas is a unique and vital resource. We value the role that the arts play in shaping our world, and we are constantly seeking new ways to facilitate their advancement. Source: www.fracturedatlas.org
