Community Forums Offered to Collect Input on the Arts: Sept 25-29

WE WANT YOUR IDEAS!!!
As part of a community-wide effort to examine the role arts and cultural organizations play in Central New York there will be a series of local meetings to hear from you, the residents of Onondaga County and beyond. We hope to involve not just current arts supporters, but also those that have encountered real or perceived barriers in attendance or participation. Please review the activities below, and attend if you can – also please share with others – we welcome all points of view. No RSVP is required but we encourage you to let us know if you will attending the CNYSpeaks/CRC Forum – see below.

The IDEAS Collaborative (Initiative to Develop and Engage Audiences in Syracuse) is a cooperative venture that uses research and engagement strategies to increase participation, identify and grow sustainable audiences, develop targeted marketing strategies and uncover opportunities for cooperative activity and resource sharing. The IDEAS Collaborative is made up of 43 local arts, culture and entertainment organizations, five local funders, and the community at large - the lead consultant is Surale Phillips of Decision Support Partners.
