about boon
Boon’s mission is to help artists and other creatives succeed by collecting and sharing opportunities, tools, and resources that support their work and professional growth.
We make it easier to find opportunities—like open calls, grants, awards, and residencies—and to access resources for building a sustainable creative practice.
Boon serves artists broadly, with current resources emphasizing visual art and contemporary craft. Because the organization was founded by jewelry artist Claire Webb, many early resources reflect the contemporary jewelry and metalsmithing community. As Boon grows, its coverage will expand through collaboration and community contributions.
Boon is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization run by a dedicated volunteer board of directors. We are passionate about art and devoted to helping creatives thrive.
