Co-ops for freelancers? Guilded challenges the idea of “starving artists
Recent highlights:
1. Launched as a pilot project about eighteen months ago, Guilded aims to provide benefits, administrative support, employee ownership, and equity to freelancer artists and other contract workers.
2. And although Guilded is starting with artists, the idea is to expand it to all kinds of workers, to eventually offer a mechanism and platform to extend employee benefits to all those who do freelance work.
3. Park initially got connected to USFWC through organizing for racial justice in the arts, and sees Guilded as a continuation of that work, because the lack of support and services disproportionately impacts artists from marginalized communities
