Fractured Atlas empowers artists to be entrepreneurs by removing practical barriers to creative expression. As a nonprofit technology organization, we take this entrepreneurial spirit to heart as we create novel and innovative solutions for age-old problems.
The arts and culture sector needs more great ideas. More importantly, we need entrepreneurs who can bring those ideas to fruition. Fractured Atlas wants to encourage innovation and risk taking by honoring the innovative minds who are developing forward-thinking models for successful arts careers and organizations in the 21st century.
Fractured Atlas is now accepting nominations for the 2017 Arts Entrepreneurship Awards.
We are thrilled to honor the innovators and risk-takers who embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and bring the same extraordinary creativity to the office as they do to the studio. Five winners will be chosen who can serve as models and inspiration for artists everywhere. We’re looking for nominees who have developed new approaches to age-old challenges in the arts by experimenting and challenging conventional wisdom.
Entrepreneur: someone who acquires resources (whether financial, technical, or other) and takes risks to start a venture developing an innovative idea or opportunity.

- developed novel solutions to old problems.
