Master Classes and TeachersEach participant will attend each six-hour master session over the course of the Institute. “Animating Democracy: Creative Community Engagement” taught by Barbara Schaffer Bacon, Belcher, MA. As arts organizations and artists move beyond the basic roles of producer, presenter, or exhibitor, they are motivated and challenged by the responsibility of addressing civic issues that affect people in real ways. The know-how to create meaningful civic engagement is becoming a required skill set—as important as fundraising, planning, and marketing. In this session, Animating Democracy Co-Director Barbara Schaffer Bacon offers key concepts of arts-based civic engagement and introduces principles and best practices via project examples, video, and lively exchange. Participants will have the opportunity to share with colleagues projects in progress or that have potential in their communities and to troubleshoot planning and project roadblocks.
“Strategic Planning for Cultural Organizations” taught by Dr. Craig Dreeszen, Northhampton, MA. Organizations that make a difference make plans to do so. Learn how to gather the people who care about your work, clarify your vision, and agree on strategic plans that help you realize your good intentions. This practical workshop outlines a simple process through which organization leaders may agree on shared priorities and anticipated results. Participants will prepare for the course by gathering and critiquing plans for a cultural organization of their choosing. The course prepares cultural leaders to undertake their own strategic planning. Participant learning outcomes
“Public Policy and Your Organization” taught by Janet Brown, Sioux Falls, SD. What governments do or don’t do effects every nonprofit organization and the arts are no exception. Understanding public policy and how it is made is crucial to the survival of arts organizations. This course will review how policy is made on the local, state and national levels and how we, as arts advocates, can change policy in our favor. Whether it is your city or county commission, local school board or state arts agency, learning to navigate successfully in the political arena will benefit your organization. The course will help you to mold your message, convey your concerns and gain support from other constituencies to increase funding, visibility for the arts and programming for your community.  Janet
