A sample of our recent work with arts-serving organizations.
For the Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA), the dots between developed a two year “train the trainers” model with 80 professional development staff and consultants. The program includes group workshops alongside one-on-one coaching, so that all participants have a strong financial foundation for themselves, and are then better prepared to tackle financial questions in M-AAA offerings.
The dots between co-designed workshops for and offered individual coaching with SOZO Fellows. The SOZO Fellowship is a groundbreaking coaching program designed to equip full-time working, mid-career independent artists with sustainability and entrepreneurship training to reach new heights in their livelihood and creative endeavors. Using a holistic framework, Artists and Producers as Entrepreneurs and Changemakers (APEC), the program is facilitated in collaboration with a group of experts from the Wellness, Finance, and Startup business world.
