As an NPN/VAN Partner or artist of the National Performance Network and/or Visual Artists Network, you can join Fractured Atlas as an Associate Member free of charge! Learn more about the benefits here.
Patterned after NPN's model performing arts program, the Visual Artists Network was launched in 2007 as a pilot, and in 2009 the program was formally established through the induction of the VAN Partners, fifteen leading contemporary arts organizations from across the United States.
The boundaries between the performing and visual arts are more than blurred: "Performance art" on the stage and "installations" in a gallery. Using the residency model of a touring performing artist, VAN is a way for the visual artist to engage in community.
