Be the first to discuss the completed research on
Local Arts Agencies: Crisis and Opportunity

Americans for the Arts recently asked Bill Keens of Wolf, Keens & Company to conduct research on the state of the local arts agency field during these challenging times. Bill spoke with 28 local arts agencies from all regions of the country about the economic and philanthropic conditions in their communities and the strategies they have employed or would like to employ to address the challenges they face. By collecting this information, Americans for the Arts will be better able to respond to the current needs of the field, track actual economic conditions and strategies for success, and share what was learned in a timely manner.

Now that the research and analysis are complete, we are inviting you to be among the first to discuss his findings in one of six audioconferences this May. These moderated, interactive, and LIVE conference call opportunities are FREE to all participants. Invite your colleagues to join you for the 90-minute call at your site. Include your board, staff, and community partners to hear Bill's findings and to ask questions.

REGISTRATION CLOSED

Each audioconference is LIMITED TO 30 SITES and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please use the links provided TO REGISTER FOR YOUR REGION no later than May 7, 2003.
