Organization description:
Satellite Collective believes in artists collaborating as equals, globally and virtually. We’ve reimagined fiscal sponsorship as a boutique, innovative, cost-effective alternative to catch-all programs from large institutions that charge exorbitant fees and lack a human touch. Through our time-tested, artist-first approach, Satellite Orbit proudly nurtures an exciting group of creatives at all stages of their career as they make, fund and share their projects.
