Interested in becoming a Sponsored Artist or learning more about our program? Please come to one of our FREE orientations. These meetings are held twice a month and provide interested artists the opportunity to learn about the service and the best ways to work with us in the program. These meetings give artists a helpful, detailed picture of how their relationship with The Field will function. After attending this group meeting, artists are eligible to sign the Sponsored Artist contract and begin using the service. To reserve a spot in an upcoming orientation, please call (212) 691-6969.

Before the meeting, please take a look at the Sponsored Artist Program Description & Contract; this information has been compiled to answer your questions and explain the various aspects of nonprofit fiscal sponsorship.

Become a Sponsored Artist

The Sponsored Artist Program offered by The Field enables performing artists and groups to accumulate the funds they need to make their artistic and career goals a reality. Fiscal sponsorship provides independent performing artists and groups with: eligibility to apply for most government, foundation, and corporate grants which require a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit status; eligibility to receive tax-deductible donations of both money and goods from individuals; and other services where 501(c)(3) status is necessary.

If you are only interested in access to Materials for the Arts, the Costume Collection, and other nonprofit benefits (aside from financial contributions), those benefits are offered under regular Field Membership.
