FAQ


tortoise is brought to you by ARTPOWER, a team of artists, cultural strategists, and arts advocates working to build an equitable ecosystem for artists to create sustainable lives.

tortoise is for working artists who want to build a sustainable financial future through their art practice. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into your practice, tortoise gives you the tools to get organized, stay focused, and level up - one step at a time.

tortoise is the only financial app made my artists, for artists. That means that each feature, tool, and resource we offer is crafted with care to support your financial and artistic aspirations. tortoise is free to use and available to download as an app or to use from the web.

The Planning feature in tortoise helps you outline the steps between where you are and where you're going. Use "Plan Examples" provided by other artists to see what's possible and create your own way.
