## [How to create a budget for your artistic project](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/art-project-budget-2026)
By [Fractured Atlas](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/fractured-atlas)
February 25th, 2026
What kind of face do you find yourself making when you hear the word "budget?" Is it the same face you make when it's time to go to the dentist? In an ideal world, artists would love if they didn't have to budget and instead create freely, indulging in unchecked amounts of chocolate and coffee along the way. But in this world, creating a budget for your artistic project, however painful it might seem at first, can actually bring you some ease – and maybe even a fresh smile – as you work toward your goal with the knowledge that you don't have any unexpected cavities that need filling.

## [Goldilocks and the Three Grants](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/goldilocks-and-the-three-grants)
By [Vicky Blume](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/vicky-blume)
March 26th, 2024
In grant applications, Goldilocks identifies as an artist first, bear second. Most reviewers assume she’s not a serious artist, because they see the claws, smell the salmon breath, and make their hasty little conclusions. Between raising her fearless cubs and navigating the stressful effects of climate change on their ecosystem, it’s tough to find time for making art—let alone getting it funded. But 2024 is gonna be different, Goldilocks hums to herself. She’s not just looking for any ol’ grant, either. She wants to spend her limited time going for opportunities that she’s ready for, suited for, and genuinely excited about.

## [Gentle Reminder: Review Your \*!%# Contracts](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/gentle-reminder-review-your-contracts)
By [Vicky Blume](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/vicky-blume)
February 26th, 2024
To some, making art and reviewing contracts are like oil and water—they don’t mix. In reality, many working artists will at some point engage in a binding agreement with another person or party for a gig, sale, commission, fiscal sponsorship, grant award, exhibition, or collab. But I suspect I’m not the only artist who feels like an imposter when I “review” my contracts. How can I possibly protect myself or my work, without legal training or expertise?

## [How to Create a Budget for Your Artistic Project](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/art-project-budget)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
February 25th, 2020
We know that artists are not always budgetarily-inclined. Some try to avoid the whole process and others protest that budgeting inhibits the creative process. But failing to set a budget can lead to your project falling short of the masterpiece you're capable of.

## [New Guidebooks for Your Professional Development](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/guidebooks-professional-development)
By [Nathan Zebedeo](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nathan-zebedeo)
December 2nd, 2019
Teach someone to fish… This platitude has been variously ascribed to ancient philosopher Laozi or medieval philosopher Maimonides. Either way, it’s been with us a long time, you’ve all heard it, and I don’t need to expand upon it here. However banal it may be, the sentiment is a major part of our guiding philosophy here at Fractured Atlas.

## [The Best Arts Service Organizations in the US: An Informal List](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/best-arts-service-organizations)
By [Sophia Park](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/sophia-park)
November 12th, 2019
Making art is not an easy process. You need all the help and support you can get to make your vision come true. Your support system can include your friends who send you encouraging texts in the midst of an exhibition install, patrons who monetarily fund your project, visitors who attend your artist talks, and institutions that provide additional programs and services. This moving, breathing ecosystem includes the arts service organization.
