NEW! Bring an Arts & Civic Engagement Workshop to Your Community
The know-how to foster meaningful civic engagement through the arts is a critical skill set—as important as fundraising, planning, and marketing. Funders, local and state arts agencies, and civic organizations can play a strategic role meet these learning goals by providing practical training bringing together constituents to share experience and knowledge from their work engaging communities.
Now booking for 2011
