After Art School: Professional Development Training in Nonprofit Organizations

Abstract

In the last fifteen years, the nonprofit community has witnessed a rise in professional development programs for artists. These programs are designed to help artists navigate their increasingly entrepreneurial, or self-directed, careers. Many participants are arts graduates seeking training they did not receive from academic institutions. This research investigates the professional development initiatives of four NYC-based arts organizations by asking how they view their services in relation to art schools and why they offer particular training. Arguing that nonprofits supplement art schools' curricula by playing an essential role in artists' education and career development, this article ultimately discusses opportunities for collaboration.
