Capacity Building Toolkit

This toolkit is for local arts councils and nonprofit organizations to strengthen infrastructure, build capacity, support current business practices, and provide a "go to" resource. It is a living document, subject to revision and correction. Suggestions for resources are actively encouraged. Please contact Anna Boulton with any suggestions you may have.

  • Beyond Attendance, a research report from the National Endowment for the Arts by Jennifer Novak-Leonard and Alan Brown of WolfBrown, exploring patterns of art engagement through arts creation and performance, media, and arts activities.
  • ArtsManager.org is a website hosted and developed by The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the Kennedy Center as a resource for current and future arts managers, as well as board members, educators, and students. This site allows arts managers to connect with a broader community of their peers in the U.S. and around the world, by sharing common challenges and offering advice on issues of concern. The site features case studies, a strategic planning guide, a resource center, a discussion board, blog postings by Michael Kaiser, and a Q&A forum.
  • Strategic Planning in the Arts: A Practical Guide written by Michael M. Kaiser, President of The Kennedy Center, provides a sequential model for identifying and implementing key strategies for mission success. (NOTE: You will need to login to artsmanager.org to access this resource.)
