Hi Everyone,

Please join us for two upcoming webinars featuring friends from our business and arts partners!

Thursday, December 5 at 3:00pm EST | Best Practices from Best Companies Partnering with the Arts

For many communities, business partnerships are a source of untapped potential. Each year Americans for the Arts honors 10 companies, one partnership and one business leader for their exceptional and creative arts partnerships. Hear directly from some of this year’s Arts & Business Partnership Award honorees and learn how to create and strengthen business and arts partnerships in your community. This webinar will feature Jiffy Lube of Indiana and its program Every Project Matters, for which the company partnered with Arts Council of Indianapolis to create murals on the sides of Jiffy Lube buildings.

For more info on the partnership, see ArtsBlog post Oil Changes and Public Art Collide for the Common Good or Arts and Business Partnership Spotlight: Jiffy Lube of Indiana

Tuesday, December 10 at 3:00pm EST | Private Sector Network Call: Convening to Connect the Field – A recap of the recent United Arts Fund Retreat

Each year, executive leadership and senior staff of the country’s united arts funds (UAF) gather in a different location to discuss best practices, trends, challenges, and opportunities that this field faces. UAFs seek to raise money to provide ongoing support to arts groups by consolidating cultural fundraising efforts in one organization and use their knowledge of the cultural community to disperse the funds accordingly. More and more, the UAFs operate as full-serve local arts agencies. We’ll hear from a seasoned UAF leader and a local arts agency leader considering adding the UAF model in their organization. This call is welcome to anyone interested in hearing about the primary topics that came up at the Leadership Retreat, and for those who wish to learn more about this field, and how different LAAs address issues of reinvestment in their communities.

Many thanks,

Jessica Stern
