How we work:

We create capacity and understandings in the field, helping you achieve your goals - from sustainable and effective program design to crafting meaningful communities. 

You know what you want to do. We know how to do it.

We know the risks.

Let’s be brave. No matter where you are in your project design, we can work with you to make sure you launch with success. Let’s ask the right questions, plan strategically, invest in partnerships and training, and integrate evaluation and research to build capacity, programming and training.

We know the challenges

And how to overcome them. Community building work is multifaceted and complicated. We have experience at all levels of programming and a deep understanding of how to get where you need to be, challenges and all.

We value the range. 

We work with mid to large size organizations restructuring programs and training opportunities. With small and emerging arts organizations, we do short term capacity building work. We know it’s all necessary, from tomorrow’s lesson plan to a 5-year vision plan. 

We prioritize leadership.

We work to see teams and partners own their big ideas. We love to build and launch new programs, particularly ones that create equity and opportunity for women and leaders of color, as well as work together to make evolve existing programming. We try new things and build up old ones. We dive deep rather than shallow and we see no point in one off arts experiences. 

We understand how to develop truly sustainable partnerships. Let’s maximize resources and build programs that honor your mission, vision, and goals and the people implementing your work. We help you value and manage the role of philanthropic organizations in your program, as you build relationships. We have a clear and longstanding knowledge of the field, moving from goals to objectives with insight, clarity, and focus.

We help you affect change and build community.
