When most people envision exhibited art pieces, they picture paintings or drawings hanging on white walls in a museum. Alternatively, an arts project called Bed & Breakfast[1] showcases artists’ works in the bedroom of a personal household. Founded in 2012 and located in Los Angeles, Bed & Breakfast provides mixed media artists with the chance to put on their own exhibitions — repurposing the traditional private bedroom space and challenging the conventional way of viewing art. This article will dive into the question: but wait, how is this project made possible? More specifically, how is it financially supported? The answer: fiscal sponsorship. Through Fulcrum Art's EMERGE Fiscal Sponsorship, Bed & Breakfast receives help in obtaining donations to maintain the project’s longevity.
What is Fiscal Sponsorship?
Fiscal sponsors are nonprofit organizations that are willing to serve as intermediaries between the source of funds and the artist. Specifically, they can provide artists or arts organizations with financial, legal, and/or administrative assistance for their projects.
