Jargonist: Connecting artists to communities in need since 2020
Jargonist is a women-run 501(c)3 artist consultancy that connects your orginization or business to a vast nestwork of exceptional artists. Founded in 2020 with the help of Columbia University’s Teachers College this collective of artistis and creative workers is an inernational network. Our mission is to help your orginization, business, or community (small projects welcome) access trained and experienced professional artists.
With over two-hundred artists in our network we bring artists into the work—as makers, teachers, collaborators, problem-solvers, and creative thinkers—to help communities develop programs, campaigns, objects, spaces, murals, workshops, and new ways of engaging the people they serv.
At the same time, we create opportunities for artists to bring their practices and activism into the communities and causes they care about, including the lesser-known and often unseen parts of their work. We know that esteemed artists still want to remain private and take time to follow their many passions, not just produce their own art.
We believe artists have more to offer than what fits inside a gallery.
