NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS
RISCA Commits to Improving Communications for the Arts Sector – New Position Made Possible Through Federal Funding. You spoke and RISCA heard you. During our statewide community listening sessions, it became clear that RISCA needed to convey the importance and value of arts and culture to all Rhode Islanders.
This has become more critical during the pandemic. Thanks to funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, we were able to create a new communications position.
Thirty-nine state arts agencies have a dedicated communications position. We are now recruiting for such a position. If you have a background in communications and experience in marketing and communication in an arts or arts-related field, consider joining our team. Learn more – including how to apply – here.
Artist Programs in the Time of COVID Survey. Like many organizations, RISCA is thinking about what we do, and how we can make what we do of greater value to the people and organizations we support. This may involve continuing to provide the programs and services you have come to depend on. It may also involve reimagining our work so that it more responsive to the needs of the arts community during this unique period.
The purpose of this survey is to understand what you – the artists and cultural workers of Rhode Island – most need at this moment.
The information we gather will help us determine how we organize our work and programs for the next several months and, perhaps, years. To learn more – and to take the survey – click here.
