local arts classroom
Overview
The Local Arts Classroom is a four-month virtual leadership development series beginning in March 2012 that provides an opportunity for local arts leaders to master foundational concepts and build skills through exposure to current practice in the core areas of local arts development. Registration includes an orientation, five 90-minute webinars, five 60-minute post-webinar discussion calls, a one-year individual Colleague level membership ($50 value) with Americans for the Arts, and opportunities to connect with field leaders. Webinars and discussions are designed to be interactive, allowing for participants to speak directly with field leaders during the sessions.
By registering and taking part in the Local Arts Classroom, you will learn with and from a network of arts administrators across the country. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, participants will receive a certificate of recognition and will be provided with further opportunities to become engaged with the broader arts community and the Americans for the Arts Networks.
A maximum of 40 individuals will be accepted into the Local Arts Classroom. Individuals meeting the following requirements are eligible to apply:
- Professionals with less than 10 years of experience in arts field, or
- Undergraduate or graduate students, or
- Professionals who are transitioning into local arts administration from another sector.
