Artists Thrive

The arts provide opportunities for social connection that has live-giving benefits. Just another reason why when artists thrive, everyone thrives. #whenartiststhrive #individualsthrive #communitiesthrive #neighborhoodsthrive

Artist Communities Alliance's Evolving Program Institute is meeting November 12-14 in Los Angeles, New Jersey, and virtually! EPI is designed to help those running artist residencies learn strategies, gain tools, and develop networks to strengthen all elements of their residency programs. https://lnkd.in/gvWtbNjt Over the coming months, we'll be spotlighting conferences and events that support those who work with artists as administrators, leaders, and educators, to help artists thrive! Please comment if you're going, and let us know what conferences you suggest. #artsconferences #whenartiststhrive #communitiesthrive

The next arts conference in our series promoting gathering opportunities for those who work with artists is SECAC (formerly the Southeastern College Art Conference), meeting in Atlanta beginning today. SECAC is a national organization that facilitates cooperation and fosters ongoing dialog about pertinent creative, scholarly and educational issues among teachers and administrators in academia, professional art schools, and museums, and among independent artists and scholars. https://lnkd.in/g7ybVAiA Comment if you're going, or if you have other arts conferences to suggest that we announce! #artsconference #artsconferences #whenartiststhrive #communitiesthrive

What is Artists Thrive? It's a growing initiative offering activities, practices, language, visions and values of what it means to succeed and thrive as an artist – and what it means to have a thriving arts sector and, eventually, thriving communities. It is a set of interconnected and holistic resources that can guide us in improving our performance and, ultimately, the conditions in which artists can thrive. Our primary resource is an assessment (which we sometimes call a survey or rubric) that helps artists and people who work with artists see where we are in our work, where we want to go, what is important to measure, and how we can improve in ways that benefit everyone involved. The assessment is meant to be customized, adapted, and applied to many situations to support your work. These tools can also be used again and again as a reference point for measuring how you, your organization, agency, department, community collaboration, partnership, or artist collective is advancing toward your goals over time. Give one or both of the assessments a try, and see what you discover! https://lnkd.in/gY3CSF3W #artisttools #artiststhriverubrics #artiststhrive #whenartiststhrive

It's so important for people who work with artists to gather, learn together, and encourage each other, like we do in our annual Summit. We're starting a series promoting national conferences and events for arts administrators, leaders, and educators. Please comment if you're going, and feel free to suggest the arts conferences you attend! The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies is meeting this week in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Artists Thrive's amazing leader, Heather Pontonio, will be there. https://lnkd.in/gwK6-sSA #artsconference #artsconferences #artiststhrive #whenartiststhrive #communitiesthrive
