Pre-conference - Feb 27th
Making the case for arts and culture service organizations
We've asked leading funding partners to share with us how they make the case for not only arts and culture, but also, specifically, arts service organizations.
With so much public attention going to global, green and social service needs, how are our partners from foundations, government and corporations making the case to support us?
We'll hear about their obstacles, roadblocks, successes and strategies in creating funding opportunities and partnerships with local performing arts service orgs.
We've promised a "pitch-free" zone to afford us the opportunity for a frank conversation in understanding, from a funder's perspective, what added value we bring to their work, what's required to ensure the continuation of their support, and what it is that we could or should be doing that we aren't.
Join us, won't you?!
