In Episode 5 we switch things up and speak not with an organization delivering the arts in a smaller community but with someone here to support those organizations. This month we speak with the Program Director of the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Heather Pontonio. Heather runs a program through her foundation called Artists Thrive. Artists Thrive (artiststhrive.org) helps artists and organizations find where they are in their work, where they want to go, what is important to measure, and how they can improve in ways that benefit everyone involved. Artists Thrive is meant to be customized, adapted, and applied to many situations to support artistic work and can be a great resource for small community artists and arts leaders. Their tools can also be used again and again as a reference point for measuring how you, your organization, agency, department, community collaboration, partnership, or artist collective is advancing toward your goals over time. Each year, Artist Thrive host a summit. This summer they will meet in Winston-Salem, NC. You can attend the summit in person or virtually. We strongly encourage you to do so. The summit is affordable and accessible.
