Effort to Help Arts Groups Handle the Recession Expands
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced plans Tuesday to expand its crisis consulting for arts organizations that are struggling to survive the recession, the Associated Press reports.
Michael Kaiser, president of the center, will meet with arts leaders in all 50 states and Puerto Rico over the next year, he said, beginning with visits to New York, Kalamazoo, Mich., Indianapolis, and six other cities in the next two months.
Since February, the center’s “Arts in Crisis” effort has offered advice on fund raising, budgeting, marketing, and other areas in which arts organizations need help as their money woes increase.
Read an excerpt from Mr. Kaiser’s book on how arts groups can turn themselves around in a financial crisis.
