Artists U is an incubator for changing the working conditions of artists.
Artists U is a grassroots, artist-run platform for changing the working conditions of artists. Make art. Don’t starve. We want to change the conversations artists have in our heads, with each other, and with the world. We push artists to build lives that are balanced, productive, and sustainable. We are skills-based, not need-based: we work to empower artists to create their lives and their art. We don’t give advice. We don’t do things for you. Everything we do is artist-to-artist and free for all participants. We started in Philadelphia and now we work in Baltimore and South Carolina too (and sometimes in other places). We have two tools: group meetings and one-on-one planning sessions.
