Fractured Atlas
Founded in 1998 as a performing arts producer, Fractured Atlas (248 West 35th St., New York, New York 10001; 212-277-8020) transformed itself after 9/11 and re-emerged as a nonprofit arts service organization. Its purpose is to help artists and arts organizations function effectively as businesses by offering funding, healthcare, liability insurance of all kinds, workers' compensation insurance, online education and professional development programs, advocacy, and other services (such as assistance with international artist visas) that facilitate and promote art-making and outreach. More than 1,000 arts groups across the United States benefit from Fractured Atlas sponsorship; the membership of artists and arts groups exceeds 5,000, and more than 400 continue to join each month.
Since 2003, Fractured Atlas has provided through its for-profit subsidiary, Gemini SBS, IT consulting and custom software development services for nonprofits and government agencies. Through its Open Arts Network, Fractured Atlas enables arts organizations to offer their own members access to the benefits and services Fractured Atlas provides.

Rescheduled Tracey Clarke Exhibition
I wrote about artist Tracey Clarke's exhibition, Myth & Mystery, here. The show's opening was supposed to be February 6 but had to be rescheduled because of the heavy snowfall in the region. The new date is tomorrow, February 13, 6:00 p.m. Details are here.
Emerging Artists of the Decade
Online, the New York Times has created a slideshow of 12 "Emerging Artists of the Decade".
SAAM Artist Lois Mailou Jones
Eye Level blog recently featured the work of Lois Mailou Jones (1905 - 1998), who is represented in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The wife of Haitian graphic designer Louis Vergniaud Pierre-Noel, she taught from 1930 to 1977 at Howard University, where she held the title Professor of Art. She painted her love for Haiti in such works as Eglise Saint Joseph. Jones's life and legacy were the subject of a Howard Magazine profile in 1999. Additional images are here.
He Said It!
". . . Oil painting is the greatest come-on ever devised. . . ." ~ Art Critic Jonathan Jones, on Kienholz: The Hoerengacht, at National Gallery, London. The focus of the exhibition of work by Nancy and Ed Kienholz, is Amsterdam's "red light" district. A poem I wrote about the exhibition after reading about it on the National's site is here.

your friday blog takes me some time to digest.
but, while i'm working on it, i will RT on twitter so that others can get started.
Thanks, Maureen...hope to see you in Manassas if you can make it.
Thanks so much for so many useful links, especially Fractured Atlas. So many artists I know tend to be hermetic and isolated (I include myself in that) and not aware of organizations like FA. Great heads up Maureen.
you offer a banquet ...
