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.

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.
