Attendees of our public fundraising, fiscal sponsorship, and bio-framing workshops can apply to join the Accelerator. It brings socially driven artists and grassroots organizers together to share networks, unlock cross-sector funding, and leave with complete strategic and visual portfolios.
Both are open to individual artists, artist and cultural collectives, and grassroots community organizations.
For independent artists whose work carries vital civic or human themes, collaborative collectives, and emerging organizing groups. Participants evaluate whether fiscal sponsorship or independent formation fits their goals.
You leave with foundational bios, resumes, custom grant calendars, and studio work samples.
For artists, collectives, and community projects that already hold fiscal sponsorship and are ready to pursue institutional philanthropy, corporate sponsorships, and major donor campaigns.
You leave with refined pitch decks, multi-year grant calendars, lookbooks, ensemble key art, and documentary campaign reels.
Artists and collectives learn to articulate the social, environmental, health, or civic equity themes already woven into their practice, so they can win funding from non-arts foundations, civic philanthropies, and corporate social responsibility programs.
Organizers learn to partner directly with artists in the cohort, integrate creative storytelling into public campaigns, and apply for cultural, humanities, and media grants that bring their mission into broader public focus.
