TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

A primary goal of the Division of the Arts is to strengthen the arts sector’s ability to deliver quality programs and services. Regular participation in professional development opportunities assists arts administrators, board members, and artists in keeping abreast of best practices for marketing, fundraising, board governance, and audience development. The Division is committed to connecting the arts community with resources that can help to strengthen their own individual and organizational management.
