Advocacy

We use our voice in the regional arts and culture sector to be a champion for creative organization’s work and goals—and host strategy sessions to explore emergent ways to advocate for the creative community. Guided by the latest research insights and developments in the sector, we work to strength the arts sector’s case for support in both philanthropic and legislative circles. We also publish resources to drive policy change, with advice for nonprofits on jump-starting their civic engagement.

Insights

We initiate research to advance the cultural sector, and provide key insights to our members that empower data-driven decision making during uncertain times. Member organizations get the chance to inform CultureSource’s research agenda, and receive exclusive access to detailed analysis on findings from our region.

As a connector and instigator, we proactively work to share insights with you through our mailings, social media, and website with events, job postings, and funding opportunities. Stop searching and let the news come right to you.

Networking

We bring people, organizations, and ideas together to foster collaboration and cultivate collegial relationships in the regional arts sector. As a member, you’ll be invited to join your peers at convenings with distinguished guests, national experts, and regional thought leaders. We host monthly roundtables for arts leaders, biannual member meetings, and discussions on special topics such as representational justice and emerging technology. 

Resources

Our member opportunities can help your organization build capacity by providing access to revenue resources, leadership training, and expanded audiences. This means learning new skills, increasing efficiency and effectiveness, and getting the tools you need to do your work best.

This work is best done with our partners with whom we regularly collaborate with to provide innovation and resiliency resources, as well as racial equity training. We also leverage our unique position with local and national funding partners to access grant opportunities exclusive to CultureSource members.

Members obtain a listing in our CultureSource Member Directory and our interactive member map so you can be easily found by our audience of leaders and community members.
