Professional Support

• In 2012, we introduce the pilot year of the Arts and Leadership Management Academy (ALMA), enhancing St. Louis arts and cultural organizations through a strengths-based approach to capacity building and leadership.  This is a partnership with Nonprofit Services Center, and is funded by Wells Fargo Advisors. 
• Every other month, a group of arts marketing professionals meet at the Centene Center for Arts and Education for the Arts Marketers meeting.  This gathering focuses on marketing problems faced by a wide range of organizations and provides actionable solutions in a collaborative environment.  This group is free and open to any person working in any marketing capacity at A&E's grant recipient organizations, email Brent Bradley, director of marketing and communications for further details.
