Grantmakers in the Arts 2011 Web Conference Series

Grantmakers in the Arts presents its second annual series of Web Conferences designed for emerging leaders in the grantmaking field and veteran grantmakers who want to revisit the information and discussions that inform their day-to-day practices. This year’s lineup of arts philanthropy leaders and innovators will address key topics of interest to arts grantmakers, including reprisals of popular 2010 GIA Conference sessions. Additionally, two new web conferences designed by GIA staff will highlight exciting information resources available to GIA members.

Each dynamic, 50-minute presentation includes audience interactive features that enable all participants to directly engage the presenters.

This series is free to the staff and board members of GIA member organizations. The fee for nonmembers is $35 per session.
