Opportunity BasketArtist Career Reconstruction Cooperative (ACRC) — Dijon Model
A membership-based cooperative that pairs disrupted artists with a dedicated career reconstruction advisor (part-time, shared across 8–12 members), provides access to a shared studio/exhibition space, coordinates bulk purchasing of materials at 30–40% discount, and operates a revenue-pooling system where members contribute a small percentage of new income to a mutual aid fund for peers still rebuilding. The cooperative also negotiates group rates with local galleries, museums, and cultural institutions for exhibition opportunities.

Value Proposition
Eliminates fragmentation by bundling career guidance, material cost reduction, peer accountability, shared workspace, and guaranteed exhibition access into one membership. Beats existing support because it's built by and for artists (not bureaucrats), addresses cash flow immediately (bulk purchasing + revenue pooling), and creates peer accountability that accelerates rebuilding vs. isolated grant applications.
Target Audience
Visual artists, musicians, performers, and craftspeople in Dijon (and similar mid-sized European cities) aged 25–65 who experienced income loss or displacement in the past 12–24 months and have 6+ years of professional practice.

- 1:1 career reconstruction advisor (10 hrs/month per member, shared role)
- Shared studio/workshop space with equipment access (painting, printmaking, metalwork, music recording)
