NeXt Program: 501c3 Arts Project Request

NeXt Program: 501c3 Arts Project Request (2019)

The NeXt program offers hands-on engagement from young professionals and arts organizations through the incorporation of group projects. Projects will span an array of areas, but will most often fall into the categories of: collaborative initiatives, audience development, event management, program implementation, business operations, marketing and communications, and philanthropy.

NeXt projects are not a competition; rather, young professionals and arts organizations alike seek to better our arts and cultural community – creating leaders in service of the arts and ambassadors for life!

• Organizations must be a 501c3

• Submissions due by June 29, 2018

• 10-month or less completion time table

• Be an arts or cultural-related project
