Conferences and Workshops
Conferences and workshops can be targeted to arts, government, business, education, or combined community groups at the local, state, and national level. Programs use research, case studies, expert speakers, and interactive facilitation to attract attention and energize participation.
Americans for the Arts consults on the agenda, provides key speakers, and designs interactive sessions. We can help with single workshops, sessions that fit inside existing conferences, or multiple day programs, including Marketing Bootcamp from the National Arts Marketing Project.
The local partner is responsible for planning and promoting the event locally, including setting fees and managing registration. Event locations, housing, food & beverage, and transportation logistics are also the responsibility of the local partners.
Americans for the Arts is committed to serving communities across the country, especially those with limited resources. Fees range from $3,000 to $25,000 and are negotiated based on length and depth of service.
