When you need to build a new web site, design an
exhibit space, or even drive a capital campaign, you
can turn to consultants to drive the project. But
there are fundamental decisions — about your
programming, audiences, financial plans, staff —
that can never be handed off to an outsider. The team-centered
seminars in the Business of Arts and Culture™
give your team the time and new tools to create these
critical organizational answers.
Organization Fellowships extended through 2010
In response to the economic challenges arts and culture organizations are facing, we are continuing to offer full fellowships for all 2010 Business of Arts and Culture seminars. Learn more »
Each team seminar is an intensive working session that helps your organization quickly make sense of
challenges and find new ideas. The series brings the best management teaching in the country directly
to the arts and cultural field.
A unique experience
Each event is led by top management faculty from
the leading business and graduate programs in the
country. Using real cases from the arts and the for-profit
sector, framework-based analysis and discussion, and
immediate applied exercises for your team, you build
new organizational capabilities and jump-start your
most important initiatives.
2010 Organization Fellowship
Through the support of our national network of funders, NAS is offering a full fellowship for all Business of Arts and Culture™ events this year. The 2010 Organization Fellowship covers the full tuition of $1250 for a team of up to five people and will be offered through a straight-forward application process. Organizations from across the United States will now be able to participate in these seminars at no cost.
Travel assistance
Travel assistance is a unique feature of the Business
of Arts and Culture. For teams of three or more traveling
to a seminar, we offer travel
support of up to $600 per person to help cover
your costs. Travel assistance is reimbursed against actual expenses and can be used for train or air transportation; hotel; rental car; gas, tolls and parking; and taxis.
Small class sizes
We limit attendance to 60 people per presentation to allow for more in-depth interaction with the faculty,
and more time to network with your colleagues. These limits also mean that only a few organizations can
participate in each presentation, so we encourage you to submit your application early.
Convenient locations
Seminar presentations are held in convenient travel
destinations with exciting local cultural resources.
Sites are selected across the country, and include
Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C.
