Arts Administration Verbs by Jill Randall

Here's a valuable 15 minute reflection activity.

First list out all of your "buckets" or programs/projects/initiatives at your organization (ex. youth program, adult program, performances, artist in residence). To the left of each of these programs, could you list the best verb to describe how you are working with each program right now? What is the focus? For example, is it to streamline, promote, or revamp? I hope that articulating these different actions will be informative and eye-opening.

Print out this simple graphic for yourself and staff members as a starting off point for reflection and conversation.
