Introducing the 2025 Arts Now Organizational Partners
Now in its second year, this project builds on the existing structure and content of the Arts Now program while offering new, specialized content tailored to direct service nonprofits. The program model encourages participants to understand their organizations’ role in local decision-making and learn new tools that empower them to establish their own locally driven goals and sustain advocacy work after they have completed the training. In addition to all existing offerings of the Arts Now program, the cohort of direct service nonprofits will receive additional technical assistance and training content about the education system, legislative process, local/state/fed gov authorities, and processes.
