ELEVATE

To ELEVATE this week, we have two questions:

#1 - How long has it been since you evaluated yourself with the Artists Thrive tool?

The first step to get on a path to thriving is to assess where you or your work is at today, and then make a plan and set goals to improve on your areas of interest. Together we can raise the value of artists in every community!

I Am An Artist

This survey covers Communicating and Connecting, Money, Planning and Capacity, Power (letting my voice grow in its own power), and Self-Care (resilience, wellness & well-being).

I Work with Artists

This survey covers Advocacy, Artists Working in Community, Funding Individual Artists, Organizational Capacity, Paying Artists, Power (open, equitable, and culturally relevant), Self-Care (resilience, wellness & well-being), Services & Programs, and Valuing Artists.

#2 - Are you now looking for resources to get to Thriving?

This ever-growing resource center covers various topics, offers resource guides, videos, and articles, and allows you to add your own resources!
