Local-Regional Training

CHF partners with art and business organizations with strong local-regional presence to bring in-person entrepreneurial learning to working artists and foster local peer networks. Can you bring the artists? Contact us.

Digital Campus

CHF's Digital Campus equips working artists with a community of peers and industry leaders, continually added art-business courses and educational media, and access to instructors through virtual office hours.

Intensive Fellowships

The Art-Business Accelerator offers a limited number of working artists with demonstrated viability and interest an interactive business-education resulting in accelerated careers and advanced entrepreneurial skills.

Advocacy & Outreach

Through The Thriving Artist Podcast, direct media outreach, and fostering local exchanges across art industry lines, CHF connects working artists with resources, training, and a stronger peer community.

All In—For a World of Art

"Let's get right to the point. We're asking for your help. The Clark Hulings Foundation is a nonprofit that relies on conscientious support from people like you. If everyone reading this gives $10/month, we can continue creating a thriving cultural economy of art and artists for years. Imagine a world where art prevails."
