Artists’ Resource Guide Available Online
The Pew Fellowships in the Arts has created an online artist resource guide that is a searchable database of resources broken down by topic and discipline. The purpose of this website is to make basic information accessible to artists regarding resources and opportunities available to them and to give artists a sense of familiarity and even “ownership” of existing support structures. The focus is on resources available to artists living and working in the Philadelphia area although much of this information will be useful to any artist. For more information click here.

About Us
LINC
Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC) is a national initiative to improve conditions for artists so they can better contribute to community life. With funding from the Ford Foundation, LINC is currently in ten cities across the country creating a network of information and support for artists.
Artist LINC Philadelphia
LINC Philadelphia began in 2005 through extensive conversations with hundreds of artists to determine their most pressing needs, and with community partners who could help LINC Philadelphia meet these needs. In September 2006, LINC Philadelphia kicked off a two-year strategy to help artists connect with information and each other.
LINC Philadelphia is co-managed by the Stockton Rush Bartol Foundation and Pew Fellowships in the Arts which are donating their time and resources to the project.
