Professional Development for the Arts, Culture, and Heritage Community

Your Alliance for Arts and Culture’s Winter Workshop Series (2012 - 2013) includes a governance and law Bootcamp, a new approach to Strategic Planning, guidance on the transition from the HST, and help with writing an effective Gaming Grant application.

The Workshops & Facilitators: The Winter Workshop Series addresses four topics of importance to all arts and culture organizations, presented by some of the top experts in their fields. These include:

  • Law & Governance Bootcamp for Performing Arts Non-Profits: Martha Rans of Artists’ Legal Outreach (ALO) and Alison Brewin offer foundational knowledge to help you identify, plan for, and respond to legal issues in the non-profit sector. Note: Registration for this workshop is through the ALO website and not through the Alliance office. (December 5, 2012)
  • Deconstructing The HST: April 1, 2013 will mark the transition back from the HST to the PST / GST. Darren Taylor of Grant Thornton LLP helped our community with the implementation of the HST and will now do the same as we head back to the future! (February 6 or February 13, 2013)
  • Navigating Your Gaming Grant Application: Alliance for Arts and Culture executive director Rob Gloor will guide you through the particular requirements of the Community Gaming Grants program, and grant writing basics applicable to all funding programs.(February 28, 2013)
