## [Supporting staff amid collapse](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/supporting-staff-amid-collapse)
By [Nico Carpenter](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nico-carpenter)
February 3rd, 2026
Each time something new emerges in the world, I get asked how Fractured Atlas thinks about supporting staff. It feels ever more urgent to help the helpers — people trying their best to support the people in their organizations. I’m talking about managers, HR/People people, senior leadership, and anyone else who has some amount of institutional power within organizations to make decisions about resources and activities. I’m just one person working in a People role in an organization, and I’m by no means doing things perfectly. But together we know a lot, and hopefully I can share things I’ve been thinking about to get your ideas rolling. And I want to hear if you have other ideas that I didn’t mention, so comment away!

Fractured Atlas's mission is to make the journey from inspiration to living practice more accessible and equitable for artists and creatives. We are routinely getting curious about our practices and policies to ensure we are holding true to this mission in every inch of our day-to-day work. That’s why we are excited to announce a big change in policy coming your way!

## [Seeding Collaborations: Interview with Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/seeding-collaborations-casco-art-institute)
By [Sophia Park](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/sophia-park)
April 11th, 2023
For this iteration of “Seeding Collaborations,” we expanded our ecosystem to the Netherlands where we spoke with Luke Cohlen and Marianna Takou from Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons (Casco). Casco is an arts organization located in Utrecht, Netherlands, where they are exploring and practicing where the arts and the commons meet. As defined by Casco, the commons is where “the natural and cultural resources \[is\] held in common by a community.” In this interview, Cohlen and Takou offer insights into Casco’s approach to working for the commons and systems change. As an art institution that presents artists’ works, they are also tackling the other side of an art practice, and how we can actually support artists, whether it’s financially or through other types of resource sharing.

By [Sophia Park](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/sophia-park)
November 8th, 2022
In our new series of interviews “Seeding Collaborations” we discuss the rumblings of the art world and explore the possibilities blossoming from current movements. We interviewed Laura Zabel, Executive Director of Springboard for the Arts (Springboard), an artist-run organization based in Minnesota. They have offices in St. Paul and Fergus Falls, both of which are on Anishinaabe and Dakota land.

## [Seeding Collaborations: An Interview with Guilded](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/seeding-collaborations-interview-guilded)
By [Sophia Park](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/sophia-park)
October 25th, 2022
Our new series of longer interviews “Seeding Collaborations” discusses some of the changes that the art world is undergoing and how we can move forward in a more just path. To kick it off, we interviewed Hope Mohr and Daniel Park from Guilded, a cooperative of freelance artists incubated by the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives (USFWC).

## [Exit to Community: A New Model for Organizations](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/exit-to-community)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
March 8th, 2022
When we interviewed fiscally sponsored project PeepMe about the cooperative platform they are creating for and by sex workers, they mentioned that they had in their operating guidelines an “Exit to Community.” We had never heard of the concept before but after they explained it to us, we’ve been mulling the idea over in our minds. Inspired by PeepMe, we’re sharing an introduction to Exit to Community, or E2C, in the hopes that it can help others think more broadly about how businesses, collaborative projects, and other ventures can be organized more equitably.

## [Guilded: Helping Freelancers Get Paid, Get Healthcare, & Build Financial Knowledge](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/guilded-freelancer-cooperative)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
January 24th, 2022
The life of a freelancer is a precarious one. There are periods of feast and famine, confusing taxes, and the chasing down of vendors to pay on time (or at all). There is the constant hunt for gigs, which could cancel at a moment’s notice. This is to say nothing about how freelancers in the U.S. pay for healthcare or save for retirement.

## [Beyond the 40-Hour Monday-Friday Workweek: 5 Alternative Approaches](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/40-hour-workweek-alternatives)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
January 18th, 2022
For an entire category of workers (but certainly not the whole workforce) the expectation of a 40-hour, 9-5 Monday through Friday workweek seems like an inevitability; an expectation so deeply ingrained that it’s hard to remember it wasn’t always this way. And it’s even harder to remember that it might not have to be this way in the future.

## [Reflections From My First End-of-Year Fundraiser](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/reflections-first-end-of-year-fundraiser)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
January 11th, 2022
Since I came to Fractured Atlas almost two years ago, I’ve been sharing information about how artists and creatives can run successful fundraisers. I’ve written articles about picking perks and shooting videos for crowdfunding campaigns, the importance of donation tiers, and running raffles.
