With over 30 years of experience, Artspace Consulting can assist your arts organization, non-profit, or city agency with a customized technical assistance scope of work tailored to meet your needs.
To meet communities’ current and future creative space needs, Artspace Consulting has expanded to include a number of customizable scopes of work ranging from helping organizations find a new home, guiding building owners as they plan for arts uses, assisting foundations as they work to strengthen their local arts communities, helping city agencies determine how best to proceed with an arts center development, asset mapping cultural institutions, to matchmaking organizations and users with proposed arts spaces.
We provide technical assistance services that include community engagement, project concept refinement, space-use planning, budget analysis, sustainable facilities analysis (30-year capital and operating development pro formas), and capital project fundraising strategies.
Artspace Consulting has found from its work in over 250 communities that each place has its own unique challenges and opportunities associated with their project, and begins each customized scope by listening to the needs of the local community and stakeholders.
Typical scopes of work include a visit by two Artspace Consulting staff to a given city, presenting at meetings, facilitating discussions, explaining possible governance structures, refining a project concept, and external research and analysis around the budget for creating sustainable space.
