smARTstart is a compendium of on-line resources that addresses questions that emerging and small arts organizations might have about operating as a not-for-profit organization. Inspired by and adapted from the Virtual Arts Incubator (VAI) project developed by the Arts Services Office at the Cincinnati Fine Arts Fund, smARTstart draws from VAI material, additional material developed by expert legal, nonprofit and business volunteers in Chicago, and on-line resources available through arts service providers from around the country. By culling from the best resources available on-line, smARTstart gives you varied perspectives on the critical components of running a nonprofit arts organization.
