The Business of Arts and Culture program serves institutions with complex management challenges and structures. Finding solutions and implementing change gets exponentially more complicated as an organization grows. Each seminar is designed for organizations with full time staff of six or more people, where leaders must coordinate solutions across multiple departments, perspectives, and internal and external stakeholders. In selecting fellowship recipients, priority will be given to organizations that fit this profile and teams that have clear goals for their participation.
Given the limited number of seats available at
each event, Organization Fellowships are
only available to producing, presenting, education,
collections and other organizations delivering arts
and cultural content and activities. Consulting
organizations, arts agencies and arts councils are
not eligible for fellowships. Fellowships are only available to arts and culture organizations in the United States. Organizations are eligible to receive fellowships to send teams to up to two seminars in 2011.
The complex issues involved in leading a cultural nonprofit today can challenge even the most skilled management team. Using our first-hand experience in the arts and working with faculty from leading business and graduate schools, we deliver executive-level programs that help you find new opportunities, manage your resources and lead your organization toward its mission.
