ArtHome improves artists’ working conditions by providing them with tools to create financial stability in their own lives.

 

 

HOW WE DEVELOP PROGRAMS

Activate ~ Network ~ Amplify

ArtHome is committed to building a vital new support system for artists: one that fosters both cultural vitality and also creates economic stability.  We believe that cultural vitality and economic stability are essential components of thriving communities. By partnering with key community organizations and stakeholders, ArtHome is committed to strengthening the unique cultural characteristics of our neighborhoods and growing the resources, not just of artists, but also of our peer community development organizations, our neighborhoods and our neighbors

ArtHome ACTIVATES existing asset-building programs that have good data, scalable practice and successful asset-building paradigms, but that don’t currently serve artists. Working with lead stakeholders in these systems, ArtHome helps them build their organizational and financial capacity to serve cultural workers and artists.

ArtHome builds new partnered NETWORKS of resources  and opportunities expanding artist access to homeownership, foreclosure prevention, financial literacy, small business start-up, and savings and loan opportunities.

ArtHome AMPLIFIES value for all our partners by undertaking collaborative work rigorously designed to bring maximum added return over the long-term.
