Artist Advisors

Artists are the heart and soul of our work. They are also key voices in the conversations that shape our programs. Since 2022, Assets for Artists has worked with paid artist advisors to help us understand the needs of the creative community and to design responsive artist opportunities. These conversations keep us accountable to our values, help us identify problems and illuminate solutions, and often shift our thinking in important ways. We’re deeply grateful to the artists who advise us in various capacities.
