Our Objectives

The objectives of our Creative Communities Program are:

Grantmaking
Elevate and invest in local organizations that exemplify best practices in the development and implementation of programs to support local, independent artists.

Knowledge Network
Animate a dynamic array of tools, practices, and practitioners, including Creative Communities representatives, consultants, and national program participants in order to provoke knowledge-building throughout the LINC network and beyond.

Research & Information
Commission new research and creatively re-engage existing data that supports case-making about conditions of artists in the United States. In addition, actively encourage information-exchange that enables artists to access resources concerning health insurance, healthcare, development of space, and other material support.
