Accountability and the Arts: Back to School
SEATTLE - The Shunpike is excited to announce the next installment of their successful Accountability & the Arts series. “Back to School” will be held Monday, September 10th at 7pm in the Seattle Center House. This session will explore opportunities for formal continuing education in arts management.
Managing a nonprofit arts organization requires an incredibly diverse set of skills, from donor relations to bookkeeping to PR. To stay ahead, many arts administrators seek continuing education. Panelists will include Steve Galatro from Seattle University’s Department of Fine Arts, speaking about Seattle U’s new Masters degree in Arts Administration, and Janet Boguch, who teaches at the arts management program at Seattle Central Community College.

The Accountability and the Arts series has been developed in support of The Shunpike’s mission to strengthen the Seattle arts community by partnering with small and mid-size arts groups to develop the business tools they need to succeed. The series launched in April 2005 with a public forum on the concept of accountability, and has continued bimonthly ever since.
Accountability and the Arts is sponsored by 4Culture, the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, and Seattle Center.
About The Shunpike
The Shunpike’s mission is to strengthen the Seattle arts community by partnering with small and mid-size arts groups to develop the business tools they need to succeed.
The Shunpike was founded in 2001 to support a vibrant and diverse local arts community where arts groups of all sizes could thrive. We realized that efficient use of resources and smart management could help arts groups do what they do best—now and in the long-term.
Working in close partnership with these groups, we help solve problems quickly and impart vital skills in finance, organizational management and arts administration. By customizing our services for the needs of each group, we strike a balance between what we do for clients and what we teach them to do on their own. Since our inception, we have supported work by more than 1,000 artists in live performance, film, literary arts, visual arts, and arts education.
