Art-Train Agency/Organization Training Registration
The Agency/Organization Training is for staff at government agencies, tribal councils, community non-profits, and arts councils to develop strategies to reach and engage more people, increase community relevance and connection, and find innovative ways to be more effective - and create authentic, equitable and lasting change. Tackle critical issues such as social cohesion, civic engagement, public planning, equity, workforce development, public health, housing, and economic growth by supporting and working with local artists.
Participants attend an initial virtual live training session, and then receive ongoing technical assistance through an online resource library and optional bi-weekly drop-in group office hours with Art-Train staff and an expanding network of peers.
The training includes:
- Impacts of working with local artists
- Influencing your local priorities and spending
- 3 customizable program models to engage local artists
- Tools for equitable collaboration
- Peer networking

While any individual staff person is encouraged to attend, a successful strategy is also to organize a critical mass of staff of agencies and organizations in a particular place to take the training so there is a foundation of shared learning and practical tools from which to launch new conversation and work. For instance, the City of Boston sent over 20 staff from different departments to Art-Train over 3 months, after which those departments became eligible for support to integrate artists into programming.
