## [Finding Donors for Your Art: DIY Prospect Research for Artists](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/finding-donors-art-prospect-research-artists)
By [Nathan Hewitt](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nathan-hewitt)

Artists are fantastic multitaskers and project managers. Often, in the course of a single day, you might function as everything from a creator, to a curator, editor, manager, assistant, fundraiser, and gopher. Never mind going to the grocery store! So when it comes time to find people who will support your projects, it’s hard to find time to start. Thankfully, finding prospective donors to support your work isn’t as mystical as it seems. A little bit of research can go a long way!

When we say that the Fractured Atlas team understands the pain of our members who have had to cancel shows and performances because of COVID-19, we mean it. When External Relations Associate Sophia Park isn’t managing grant applications for Fractured Atlas or working on other projects to help our operation run more smoothly, she curates independently and as one half of Jip Gallery. Her summer show was cancelled because of COVID-19.

## [Best Crowdfunding Platforms for Artists](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/best-crowdfunding-platforms-artists)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
May 26th, 2020
Creative projects require money. You need money to rent space, hire collaborators, purchase supplies, print programs, contract web designers, and more. As an artist, you can fund your work by applying for grants, many of which will require you to be a 501(c)(3) or find a fiscal sponsor like us. You can also raise money by crowdfunding.

## [Ethical Event Policies for Artists](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/ethical-event-policies-artists)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
May 18th, 2020
Right now, who knows when we will be able to safely gather to experience art together. But it will happen at some point. And we expect that there will be a tricky and confusing period where planning any kind of event feels touch-and-go, tenuous, and tentative. As artists, we’ll have to be able to make quick updates, shifts, or cancellations even more so than we might have before.

## [In Case of Emergency, Document and Inventory Your Creative Practice](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/emergency-document-inventory-creative-practice)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
May 6th, 2020
In an unpredictable world, artists need to get in the regular habit of inventorying and documenting your work. That way, if an emergency hits, you’re better prepared to get relief.

## [Best Ticketing Apps for Artists](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/best-ticketing-apps-artists)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
April 27th, 2020
As an artist or an arts organization, you are likely inviting people to events, whether physical or virtual. You want people to attend your play, artist talk, workshop, or screening. In order to sell or distribute tickets (or even register RSVPs) ahead of time, you need a ticketing app.

## [Artists, Use a CRM and Spend More Time Creating](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/artists-customer-relation-management-crm)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
April 27th, 2020
It’s challenging to keep track of all of the people who are invested in your work as an artist. Who attended your last performance? Who donated to your most recent crowdfunding campaign? How much did they pitch in? Plenty of artists keep track of this crucial information in an ad-hoc, manual way. For example, manually inputting email signups from events into a big spreadsheet or by cross-referencing your email inbox with your crowdfunding platform. While it might be tempting to keep muddling through out of habit, we recommend finding a way to consolidate this information in one useful place.

## [Virtual Art Shows and Performances: Advice from a Multimedia Artist](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/virtual-art-shows-performances-advice-multimedia-artist)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
April 22nd, 2020
It is frustrating and sad to have to cancel shows and performances for the sake of public safety. You might have had to cancel your first solo show, and MFA show, or your directorial debut. Not being able to gather in person for shows or performances is emotionally challenging, and also logistically challenging. You’ll have to work through contracts, payouts, and vendors to cancel a show with as little fallout as possible.
