services for your community

Bring the insight and expertise of Americans for the Arts to your community. Our programs and services are designed to support local professional development, research, advocacy, and strategic partnerships that are important to you.

Speakers Bureau
Americans for the Arts speakers are experts in the economic and cultural development of creative communities, and the role of arts and culture in national issues like education, workforce readiness, civic engagement, and international relations. Talks can be targeted to arts, government, business, education, or combined community audiences at the local, state, and national level. We present research with key insights and put local results in a national context.

Conferences & Workshops 
Americans for the Arts consults on the agenda, provides key speakers, and designs interactive sessions. We can help with single workshops, sessions that fit inside existing conferences, or multiple day programs.
