Springboard's mission is to help artists make a living and a life. Springboard builds reciprocal relationships between artists & community.

I am lucky to be the executive director at Springboard for the Arts. The opportunity to work with artists and see first hand the impact that art has on our community, economy and culture is the best job I could ever imagine. Our staff of 8 practicing artists serves over 6,500 artists face to face each year.

This has been an incredible year of growth and change for Springboard - we have been able to create new programs and serve artists in new ways. This is our 20th anniversary year and I can't wait for the next 20 years!

We know Springboard changes artists’ lives and communities, but we can’t do it alone. I invite you to roll up your sleeves: help us cultivate the field for independent artists, creative entrepreneurs and cultural producers.
