New Governance Models

A panel discussion with Olivia Seward, Owais Lightwala, and Santee Smith, moderated by Jane Needles. We will examine the future of governance models against the outcomes of COVID-19 and its effect on the arts.

How to Look at IDEA Webinar – An Intercultural Lens

Prioritizing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (IDEA) does not equate to people engaging effectively and appropriately across differences. Join this discussion as panelists Santiago Guzmán and Valerie Sing Turner explore the ways to move beyond the acronym and traditional approaches to IDEA, and instead adopt an intercultural and intersectional perspective.

Decolonizing the Practice

Decolonizing is an overwhelming and daunting task. There is no ‘one-size fits all’ method, and the mere idea of how this fits within the world of consulting is intimidating. Decolonization is a challenging, reflective process of learning and unlearning. How can we avoid failure and recolonization during this journey of ‘decolonizing the practice’?

How To Bring A Coaching Mindset To The Arts And Culture Sector

Coaching is considered a fundamental leadership skill and, increasingly, art consultants are being asked to bring coaching skills and practices to their consulting activities.

Impact Investing and the Arts: Staying out of trouble, or missing the boat?

Despite strong arguments and evidence for culture’s positive impacts on society, culture remains on the fringes of impact investing. Is this our conservative natures, wisely keeping us out of the potential trouble of repayable finance? Or are we missing the boat on resource models that nurture both the capital and capacity arts organizations will need in the not-so-distant future? Join David Maggs, Sean Geobey and Irfhan Rawji for this interesting discussion.
