Know Admin, Know Art: Resource Sharing Through Fiscal Sponsorship
What if you could grow your artistic practice and create the work you love without also needing to be your own accountant, fundraiser, and back office admin? In this panel, Allied Media Projects, CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia, Fractured Atlas, and Fusion Partnerships will explore how the resource-sharing model of fiscal sponsorship can meet the needs of artists + organizers and ensure a more just and sustainable environment where artists can not only survive but thrive.
