The Changing Landscape of Arts Funding

Changes to federal funding and the state budget crisis are affecting both public and private arts funding sectors. How does this bode for our state’s arts and cultural institutions that rely on substantial support to facilitate performances and educational experiences? How are your philanthropic colleagues focusing given the current landscape of arts funding? 

This Arts Funders Affinity Group meeting will feature remarks by Nicholas Cohen, Executive Director of Maryland Citizens for the Arts and Steven Skerritt-Davis, Executive Director of the Maryland State Arts Council followed by Q&A and discussion providing members a chance to voice their concerns, share updates on their priorities, and discuss any shifts in funding allocations. We invite all funders who care about a strong, vibrant arts and culture sector to this opportunity to exchange perspectives about the arts landscape.  

This meeting is for Maryland Philanthropy Network members and invited guests only.
