Get matched →Creative Futures/Futuros Creativos is a FREE 3-month cohort-based accelerator for emerging and mid-career visual artists, created by We Art One Artist Collective with support from the LUCHA Equity Fund, awarded and administered by Hispanic Federation. This is not an art technique program. Instead, it focuses on the real-world skills artists need to build sustainable creative careers, from pricing and marketing their work to managing clients, understanding contracts, finding new sources of income, and planning for growth.
Through workshops, mentorship, networking, exhibitions, and more, participants will gain practical tools to earn income from their work and grow as creative entrepreneurs. Participants will learn alongside fellow artists, mentors, We Art One staff, and creative industry professionals. Programming is hands-on, collaborative, and designed to be immediately useful to each artist's creative practice. Participants will also receive a microgrant upon successful completion of the program.
New York-based visual artists are encouraged to apply. Priority will be given to artists in Yonkers, the Bronx, Westchester County, and the Lower Hudson Valley, particularly Latinx, bilingual, immigrant, BIPOC, and other historically underrepresented creatives.
Throughout the program, the Creative Futures/Futuros Creativos Program Coordinator and We Art One leadership will be available to provide guidance, connect artists with resources, and help ensure the program responds to the needs and goals of the cohort.
