Partner Artists is a unique program that pairs Fiscal Sponsorship with a suite of back-office services to strengthen and sustain arts groups and projects.
The Partner Artists program is ideal for arts groups and projects that want a partner to help them manage the business side of art – and the assurance that their project, group or organization is running smoothly and accountably. Shunpike is committed to flexible and dynamic partnerships with arts groups and projects of all sizes.
Partner Artists must meet the eligibility requirements of our Fiscal Sponsorship program.
In addition, Shunpike selects groups and organizations for the Partner Artists program that demonstrate a clear need for a higher level of back-office service and support.
