Fiscal Sponsorship for Social Justice Arts Practitioners

The Field’s Pilot Fiscal Sponsorship for Social Justice Arts Practitioners Program is a subsidized fiscal sponsorship membership with special benefits for individual artists and art collectives or organizations who identify as members of a historically underrepresented or marginalized group and whose creative work puts into practice and furthers values of social justice, equity, and inclusion in their communities. This is an opportunity for creatives and cultural workers of all disciplines and experience levels.

Program Benefits:

• 1 year of Fiscal Sponsorship subsidized by The Field (value of $110) with all associated benefits including an artist profile where you can collect online donations, create crowdfunding campaigns, and request grant review.
 
• Welcome packet with information about benefits, resources, and how to use your Fiscal Sponsorship.

• A 1-hour consultation with Deputy Director Shawn René Graham or Senior Artist Services Associate Kirsten Michelle Schnittker (value of $75).

Eligibility

• Identify as a member of a historically underrepresented or marginalized group. The Field will prioritize self-identification.

• Are a social justice arts practitioner or arts organization with a social justice mission and your values align with The Field’s committed values of justice, equity and inclusion

• Make work that is artistic or artist-serving, and available to the public. This encompasses a variety of live and digital mediums including (but not limited to) podcasts, web series, literary publications and works, and the therapeutic and healing arts. The Field cannot sponsor artists/groups that are raising money solely for scholarships or tuition for educational programs.
