The current nonprofit model is going through major changes due in part to the fluctuating economy and the new ways the arts are delivering their product. Martin Cohen of the Cultural Planning Group will lead speakers in a discussion on emerging business models like low-profit limited liability companies (L3c), fiscal sponsorships, and contracts for services. Christine Harris of the Creative Alliance Milwaukee Inc. and Jim Kelly of 4Culture will be discussing their hybrid organizations and why they changed their models. We will also explore how the arts are looking for new ways to make a difference in community revitalization, attracting new audiences, and generating sponsorships from private businesses.

Presented by: Christine Harris, Creative Alliance Milwaukee; Jim Kelly, 4Culture
