Arts Leadership Lab, a program of Shunpike, is accepting applications for its new CORE TEAM. The Arts Leadership Lab CORE TEAM is a professional development, peer learning and community building program for emerging arts leaders.
UPDATE: The application deadline has been extended to Friday, March 19th (and Shunpike is doing one in King County, and another in Pierce County!)
WHAT IS ARTS LEADERSHIP LAB?
The mission of Arts Leadership Lab (ALL) is to recognize and empower arts practitioners as valuable, effective partners in the community development of the Puget Sound region. Under the stewardship of 4Culture, ALL was founded in late 2006 as the Emerging Arts Leaders of King County, a group connected to the national Emerging Leaders Network coordinated by Americans for the Arts; in 2008 the group re-formed as Arts Leadership Lab, led by the Core Team, and in early 2010, ALL moved to its new home as a program of Shunpike.
KEY ACTIVITIES
ALL’s main work has been to produce monthly panels, presentations and networking events that focus on issues and opportunities concerning the cultural ecology of our region.
The Core Team produces one of each of the following public events every quarter:
*Accountability in the Arts – Seminars in best practices for arts management
*Creative Conversations – Forums/panels on issues impacting arts and culture (e.g. space, technology, advocacy, etc.)
*SPIKE’d/ALL Out – Happy hour networking events
Beginning in 2010, the Core Team will also produce and host an “UnConference,” a half-day of short presentations by innovators in cultural ecology.
THE CORE TEAM
The ALL Core Team is an 18-month professional development, peer learning and community building opportunity that asks: What are the major opportunities of our time? How can art makers, managers and supporters be effective partners in pursuing them? Eight – 12 selected participants govern ALL and collaborate to discover new opportunities for innovation in arts leadership. Shunpike provides the Core Team with administrative support and guidance in programming.
