The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2025. See the about page for more details.

| Knight Foundation | 14,000.00 | 7 | -- | Arts | https://knightfoundation.org/grants/5731 | -- | Grant period: 04/01/2013 - 03/31/2014; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To increase professional development opportunities for local performance artists by expanding a pilot project that allows artists to seek targeted advice and counsel Individual artists have few resources available to them for professional development, and often grow their careers reactively instead of proactively. Too many talented and accomplished artists are exhausted and discouraged about the future. Artists U will expand its professional development program with two elements: Planning Mondays, where any visual or performing artist can drop in once a week for a one-on-one consultation; and AU Intro Course: Building a Sustainable Life as an Artist, a three-week course on strategic planning, finances and creating an artist statement. Paired together, both programs will give artists the tailored, personal help they need to create a life that is both ambitious and achievable. Artists U is a grassroots, artist-run platform for changing the working conditions of artists. Having started in Philadelphia and expanded to Baltimore and South Carolina, Artists U wants to change the conversations artists have in their heads, with each other, and with the world. The group pushes artists to build lives that are balanced, productive, and sustainable. Everything Artists U does is artist-to-artist and free for all participants. |
