Insurance
“Affordable health insurance options for me are the key to leaving my “day job” and pursuing an arts career full time. It is the largest obstacle in terms of expense to doing this, because I am unwilling/scared to without insurance, and until I bring enough income from the arts side of things, I can’t afford it. It’s a catch-22."

Mission
Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC) is a ten-year national initiative to improve the conditions for artists working in all disciplines.
As a vital and immeasurable component of our cultural and collective identity, artists help us interpret our past, define our present and imagine our future. Working artists make resonant contributions to the daily lives of our communities, not only as creators, but also as entrepreneurs, educators and involved citizens.
