The Evolution of a Leadership Fellows Program
Monday, October 19, 2:00pm – 3:15pm
Organized by Scott Stoner, Vice President, Programs and Resources, Association of Performing Arts Presenters.
Presented by Ken Foster, Director, Arts Leadership at USC, University of Southern California; and Scott Stoner, Vice President, Programs and Resources, Association of Performing Arts Presenters.
In partnership with USC’s Arts Leadership Program, APAP launched a new Leadership Fellows Program, for which curriculum content and context is based upon a series of think tanks held with artists, presenters, agents-managers, funders, and other stakeholders in the presenting field. The Fellows Program co-directors will present what was learned and integrated into curriculum modules about key challenges and issues: trends and movements in the external environment; adaptive thinking around inclusion, equity, and access; strategies around aesthetics, curating, and the role of community in artistic practice; and, continuous change management necessary to become a learning organization. Information will also be presented about action learning projects based upon a complex challenge identified for each Fellow’s organization.
