Working Artists LLC is a social entrepreneurial organization, meaning that in addition to being committed to creating profitable businesses in the arts for ourselves, we also believe in giving back to the community through the arts. Although you are not required to participate in any of our current outreach programs (we realize many of the artists who join us are already donating their time, art and energy to non-profits and social issues), we strongly encourage you to consider participating in one of our outreach events as part of the studio group.
