Over the past 10 years, nonprofit arts and cultural organizations have wrestled with a number of management challenges — audience development, fundraising, marketing, programming, facilities and volunteer issues. These concerns have been exacerbated by shifting demographics, globalization and rapid technological advances.
Changes to traditional philanthropic revenue streams have necessitated a more entrepreneurial approach to finances in the sector. At the same time, today’s arts and cultural organizations are not only more accountable for their financial effectiveness, but they also need the metrics to prove it.
The sector, as a whole, has also expressed concern over the availability of talented leaders capable of managing long-established institutions through this period of transition and into the next generation of arts and cultural leadership. We help these organizations find the right leaders who can manage these challenges and capitalize on new opportunities.
