In partnership with the Center for Performance and Civic Practice and committee of national advisors, Springboard for the Arts is excited to offer Art-Train, a new national training and technical assistance program to bring together artists and creative workers with municipalities, agencies, and organizations to create culture-based collaborations.
With a track for artists and a track for agencies, Art-Train helps organizations use American Rescue Plan and American Jobs Plan funding to support locally-rooted, culture-based collaborations for a creative and equitable recovery, and artists get ready to work in these kinds of programs. Participants attend an initial synchronous virtual training session, and then receive ongoing technical assistance through bi-weekly drop-in coaching and networking sessions with Art-Train staff, experts and an expanding network of peers.
