Ten Survival Strategies for Arts Organizations

John R. Killacky writes the most excellent article I've seen on what to __do__ about the economic crisis in the arts. He offers ten survival --or I would say, and Thrive-al-- strategies for arts organizations. Thanks to the newsletter Blue Avocado for highlighting this.

Each strategy is so thoughtful and practical, I had a hard time deciding what to highlight. I'm going with this:

"Capitalize to mission delivery, not sustainability. Michael Kaiser from the Kennedy Center is adamant: 'We mustn't be scared into thinking smaller. Small thinking begets smaller revenue that begets smaller institutions and reduces excitement and involvement.'"

But be sure to read the whole piece.
