Arts Leadership Network

Meet for happy hour and share knowledge with fellow arts professionals.

ArtsKC hosts The Arts Leadership Network (ALN) for arts leaders throughout the Kansas City region to connect, discuss industry trends, and collaborate on initiatives like audience development, diversity, and funding. Originally focused on networking for Executive and Artistic Directors, ALN has now expanded to include bi-monthly meetings for Arts Marketing and Development Professionals to cater to the topics, trends, and needs unique to their roles.

The Arts Leadership Network also gives ArtsKC an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of each organization’s capacities and goals to better tailor our services to your needs.
