Arts Consulting: What changed? What is changing? What still needs to change?

Diane Claussen
DePaul University, 3C Theatre Partners, Head of Theatre Management/Assistant ProfessorIn the last two years, the arts community has experienced widespread shutdowns, layoffs, the Great Resignation, DEI demands and responses, government relief funds, organizations and industry closures and re-openings, new programming models, financial uncertainty and exhaustion. As a result, consultants are conducting searches, researching and predicting sales trends, and audience preferences, offering DEI workshops and more in-depth H.R. trainings, and leading strategic planning processes. A panel of four arts consultants will present the significant changes they are observing and experiencing in their own work and in the field, and share what is inspiring and activating arts consulting requests and practices.
