Planning for Success in the Arts

A capacity-building intensive programme for arts managers and their boards


We are delighted to be one of the chosen organisations of the DeVos Institute of Arts Management programme in association with Business to Arts. Identified through a competitive process, of which only 15 organisations nationwide were chosen, The Ark will take part in a year-long teaching and mentoring programme focusing on the areas of artistic planning, fundraising and marketing. The programme is modelled on the DeVos Institute’s successful international programmes for arts organisations and managers and combines annual group seminars, regular online working groups, and ongoing, one-on-one consultation. The programme is led by Michael M. Kaiser (President, John F. Kennedy for the Performing Arts), Brett Egan (Director, DeVos Institute of Arts Management), and DVIAM leadership and associates.
