Navigating the Art of Change: Grantmakers in the Arts Featured Sessions
Friday, June 19, 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
Part II: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: What Is the Role for Funders?
In this session, Bill Cleveland of the Center for the Study of Art & Community will examine the range of funding, advocacy, technical assistance, and partnership strategies that could be employed by arts funders to advance cultural recovery. We will look at potential cultural development opportunities contained in The Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the new federal budget. We will also examine how funders can sustain the cultural ecologies they work in.
If the American economy needs stimulation what needs to be done for its cultural sector? Do these difficult times call for new approaches to cultural development? If so, what roles could arts funders be taking that will help their constituencies meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities?
