The Clark Hulings Fund helps professional visual artists succeed in business. We concentrate our activities in three areas: grant making, business skills and community building. Our goal is to make the art of many more visual artists broadly accessible so that all of us may encounter and be enriched by their work. Through our Collector Salons we strive to promote the art of collecting, exhibiting and caring for art. It is those activities more than any others that bolster the artists behind the work.
