Arts Business Collaborative and Rising Tides Institute is working on a study, funded by The Endeavor Foundation and The Pritchard Family Foundation, that brings together 40 artists and arts nonprofit leaders for a series of ethnographic interviews focused on managing business operations, crisis management strategies prior to and during COVID, and approaches to capacity building. The information they collect will help structure a three-day impact strategy lab that brings together all participants in a communal virtual space to collaboratively create strategies that improve survivability in the face of coming fiscal challenges at the national, state and local level.  

The team will be sending all participants a gift valued at $50 from one of our two favorite black-owned businesses, Franklin Cellars Wine Shop or Grounded. To participate in these interviews and lab, please schedule an intake call here or email research@artsbusinesscollaborative.org.
