The Clark Hulings Fund for Visual Artists, Santa Fe, New Mexico has chosen 16 artist fellows for its 2019 Art-Business Accelerator Program. The selected artists will participate in CHF’s innovative and comprehensive initiative, a yearlong virtual course of business study for visual artists that is designed to impart the necessary business training to succeed as entrepreneurs and make a complete living through the creation of their art.
   “This year’s group of applicants was very diverse, in terms of medium, style, genre, stage of career, business model, interests, background, and location. It was a really broad, fascinating group, which made for a competitive and exciting selection process,†said Elizabeth Hulings, CHF’s director. “One of the things we have to do is make sure the cohort will integrate and coalesce around the intense work they’ll be doing,†she added, “and that was a bit of a puzzle this time around. We are thrilled for our 16 Fellows and anticipate a vigorous and fun Accelerator in 2019.â€
