Fractured Atlas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fractured Atlas is a national not-for-profit arts services organization based in New York City.

History

It was founded in 1998 by current Executive Director Adam Huttler as a theater production company,[1][2] but became a service organization for other artists in 2001. When it worked as a theater production company, they also worked with other theater companies, choreographers, musicians, and performance artists. The events of 9/11 in the United States of America almost caused Fractured Atlas to have to close down, but they were able to reinvent the company from support of the board of directors and executive leadership.

Fractured Atlas has been able to reach out to over 250,000 artists and organizations. Many of the services that Fractured Atlas provides can be found and completed online.[3]
