exploring innovative models

Your insights are essential as we explore innovative models for resident companies and lasting collaborations. Together, we can ensure our unique space serves as a shared, thriving home for local artists and organizations.
The Workshop:
A Collaborative Opportunity
Why have a workshop?
Our vision is to make The GRAND a hub for a diverse cohort of artists and arts organization “Residents”. We are exploring the feasibility of this new model, one that could provide a home for the arts and long term stability for The GRAND.
This workshop is an opportunity to help us shape our role in the city’s evolving arts landscape and define how we can better support YOU whether you are an arts organizations, artist, or part of the creative sector.
