Tremaine Foundation, Herberger Institute Release Report on Arts Business Training
A new report from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation examines how business training being delivered to artists across the U.S. and leverages research conducted in the inaugural year of the Tremaine Foundation Fellowship in Arts Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University. “How It’s Being Done: Arts Business Training in the US” seeks to move beyond identifying the programs and organizations that are providing business training specific to the arts. The research also explores how training is being delivered, and where there are gaps.
The report identified 162 programs or services offered by 78 distinct organizations. These organizations serve a wide variety of constituencies and are providing this training in formats ranging from blog series to weekend intensives, as well as year-long programs delivered in-person and online.
The primary audiences for this report are organizations serving artists, such as state and local arts councils, and artists seeking this kind of training. The secondary audience is funders supporting the arts sector as well as those engaged in community and economic development.
