Professional Development
ASI is committed to the professional and organizational growth of Western New York’s artists and arts organizations. Through our professional development series, we offer complimentary and interactive workshops presented by the region’s leading changemakers in the arts. With topics spanning budgeting, marketing, governance, and more, we work hard to ensure that seminars are timely, effective, and valuable for any individual or group, regardless of the present challenges of one’s organization or stage of one’s career.
In October 2019, we presented the inaugural Creative Professionals Exchange, a 2-day mini conference for artists and individuals who work in arts and cultural organizations. Click here to learn more about the program.
Below, you can check out listings for future workshops and review materials from past sessions.
All of ASI’s professional development sessions are free and open to the public (unless otherwise noted) thanks to the generous assistance of Fund for the Arts, Erie County, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
