## [Come back to yourself: an invitation](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/come-back-to-yourself-an-invitation)
By [Geo Ong](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/geo-ong)
September 21st, 2026
This quarter’s theme on Inciter Art is: come back to yourself. Have you been caught in the riptide of productivity culture? Stuck in an infinite doomscroll? Now’s the time to come back to every part of yourself: artist, worker, child, caretaker, rebel, fighter. Parts we can often leave by the wayside in the name of practicality or duty. For the next three months, we’ll be navigating the choppy waters of technology, attention, breaking up with your art job — in other words, by your side as you rediscover your true north and set sail.

I’ll never forget the first time I took myself on an artist date. Okay, to be honest, I forget most of the details. But I’ll never forget how it felt. The clarity! The creative freedom! The subversive undertones. It was my first taste of anti-productivity.

If you work in the arts, you've probably had your fair share of creeeepy bosses, ghoulish work conditions, and clients who turn into ghosts as soon as it's time to pay up. This October, Fractured Atlas is commissioning an artist of any discipline to write a 750-900 word article about their very own arts worker horror story 👹 Please review the details below, and fill out this short interest form by Thursday, September 17th for a chance to write and publish your story with a $750 stipend. We’ll be randomly selecting someone to work with, because the art world doesn't need any more competition ੈ✩‧₊˚

## [Grant Compatibility: Ways to Know if an Opportunity Is the Right Fit](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/grant-compatibility-ways-to-know-if-an-opportunity-is-the-right-fit)

The world of funding is vast, and it can be daunting to dip your toes in or even know if you’re ready to. The best way to find out is to just… start! And the best place to start is by carefully reviewing a funder’s guidelines line by line. Reviewing grant opportunities and their guidelines can feel a bit like speed dating (almost makes it sound fun… right? We tried 🤷). Think of it as a quick meet and greet, asking yourself the hard hitting questions, to see if this might be a good fit. If the vibes are good, then you have a better gauge of whether it feels worth your precious time and energy to dive in!

For ten years, I led arts programs in Rikers Island with my NYU students. Each Saturday morning, I crossed the bridge on the Q100 bus, staring out at the murky waters of the East River, gathering my resolve to enter a penal colony, the last of its kind, to transform a prison classroom into a space of community, creativity, and belonging.

As an accountant that has dibbled and dabbled between profit and nonprofit sectors, whenever I enter the nonprofit sector I’m often asked “Why are you here?” Being new to Fractured Atlas, it’s time I tell you my arts origin story. It’s a story of socioeconomics and rebellion.

## [How to Pitch Your Work: A Guide for Artists](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/how-to-pitch-your-work-a-guide-for-artists)
By [Fractured Atlas](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/fractured-atlas)

When we say “pitch,” we don’t (necessarily) mean doing your best Don Draper impression for a room of stony-faced tobacco executives. Pitches are actually an everyday part of everyone’s lives: selling your partner on takeout when you both know there are goddamn beans in the fridge, convincing your neighbor to register and SHOW UP to vote this time, or writing a cover letter, to name a few. Whether we like it or not, pitching is part of sharing this small blue marble with a few billion other folks and trillions of other critters. But for artists in particular, pitching yourself and your work is a necessary part of bringing your art out of the basement and onto the stage.

I’m in the process of teaching my two young kids how to play with blocks. All kinds of sets: Legos, Magna-Tiles, wooden blocks with animal faces on them. One block on its own may not have much function or purpose — unless you count having a funny face that makes your kid chuckle a purpose, which I definitely do count. But combined with the other blocks in the set, they take on a collective capability. Strength in numbers. It takes a village. Community. These are tried and true phrases and concepts. And if you are a working artist, building a funding community can not only make your creative practice more sustainable, but it can provide enriching benefits — not just monetary — for you and the people who generously make up your funding community.
