(Patrons Previewed this first.)
You asked for it. Here it is...with a 2022-2023 update...
I now have a fiscal sponsor for the many Charitable Art projects at my studio.
What this means:
Subscribing patrons still get the most art here at patreon
AND...
Patrons who would really like to get a deduction on their taxes when they make sure that these charitable projects continue to keep the arts accessible to all members of our rural community are now able to DO THAT when they send a payment to my Fiscal Sponsor, Fractured Atlas.
Fractured Atlas is a 501(c)(3) public charity. SheilaLynnK Art Studio is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of SheilaLynnK Art Studio must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Tax-deductible contributions made to my fiscal sponsor are not linked or affiliated with any subscription rewards for patrons at patreon.
Why is this New Thing so important?
Because
A) Fiscal Sponsorship expands my options and eligibility pertaining to certain types of project grants. Let's face it; I was NEVER, EVER meant to be a daily Thing-Seller.
B) In our modern consumption society sometimes there are just too many things.
and 3) All People still need to have the opportunity to experience the art...
and... letter Q) Experience is an entirely different kind of Capital "T" Thing.

What charitable projects are supported? (Updated 11.20.2022)
Your support makes it possible to make art and resume community arts activities in 2023. Thank you! In 2023, free and affordable services will be available at local host sites in compliance with current local updates to covid prevention as I continue to promote creative unity and equitable access to the arts for the wellness of our community.
