Accountability & the Arts
This series of free, public workshops is dedicated to helping Seattle-area arts organizations become more effective and efficient. It provides an opportunity for tomorrow's arts leaders to meet and learn from Puget Sound's top arts administrators. Workshops topics have included fiscal sponsorship, marketing strategy, fundraising plans, and more.
Partner Artists
The Partner Artist program is geared towards new and emerging arts companies. The typical company has been in existence for less than three years and has an all-volunteer staff. We usually sign these companies to a minimum of a one-year contract.
The goal of the program is to find new companies that have the potential to impact the Seattle arts community and help them develop into mature, sustainable, community-focused arts institutions. We do this by providing fiscal sponsorship and financial oversight, and by assisting with the creation of a growth strategy including an annual budget and strategic plan.
Sustainable Organizations
Our Sustainable Organizations program offers specific infrastructure- or capacity-building services for mid-size arts organizations. This can take the form of training, consulting, or outsourcing, all at a reduced cost to the organization. The typical candidate for this program is a company that is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and seeks specific help with administration or organizational growth.
