Resources to Get Started
These Balancing Act Resources were created based on the findings from our first three years of the Level UP! Program.
About Balancing Act Resources
Our Balancing Act Resources are available to help guide your decisions, whether for project-based endeavours or for your organization as a whole. From FAQs on how to start a Compassion Fund, to Things to Consider for different aspects of Care Solutions, these resources are informed by individual artist-caregivers, arts organizations who have participated in our Level UP! Program, and community conversations towards a more sustainable culture of care in the arts. And as the movement continues to evolve, so will these resources!
We recommend you to also check out other materials we’ve linked on these pages:
- Research (eg., media articles, research reports)
- Resources for Artists (eg., toolkits, stories from artist-caregivers)
