ABOUT:
Operation ARTS Foundation Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by board members: Chyna Mae, Renee Taylor, and Daniel Collins. They created this organization to be a bridge between artists and resources, strategic partnerships, marketing support, events, professional matchmaking, and opportunities in their field. In order to encourage successful business practices among artists, their organization provides consulting, development tools, support, and key information on how to become an ‘artrepreneur.’ In addition to working with artists, they also work with businesses and the community to help create more consistent freelancing options through opportunity development and by encouraging philanthropy in the arts. Operation ARTS Foundation further supports artists by helping to negotiate favorable terms for the sale of their artwork and artists' services to cultivate best practices for all. By utilizing creative problem-solving techniques, they help local businesses attract new customers through marketing, alternative art gallery curation, interior decorating, custom art, and any other service that they may need. They also coordinate creative impact events that engage the community while cultivating strong business skills and relationships. Additionally, they encourage philanthropy, culture, and art patronage in the community by creating an atmosphere of value in the arts to show it can be an investment both benevolent and profitable. Their programming consists of local art gallery staging, professional development events, public art, marketing support, resource sharing, opportunity cultivation, career training, and an accredited professional internship program.
