What does it mean to lead well in today's arts and culture sector? How do you know you're making the right decision for yourself, your organization, and your community? What does it look like to be strategic and thoughtful while managing risk in a rapidly evolving sector?

Leadership in the arts and culture sector is complex, dynamic, and deeply connected to community. This program invites emerging and experienced leaders to explore leadership through the lens of Indigenous wise practices, right relations, deep listening, self-inquiry, and leadership as a means, not a destination.

artsPlace invites submissions to the RISE Emerging Artist Program, a juried ~six-week exhibition paired with professional mentorship that builds skills in exhibition design, installation, marketing, and professional practice while fostering community awareness and advancing artists’ careers.
