Creative Exchange
Through the Creative Exchange, we strive to give all who contribute to the arts sector — artists, arts leaders, individuals working for arts and cultural nonprofits, gallery owners, patrons of the arts, and more — the connection, access to resources, skill building, and business coaching they need to grow and thrive on Cape Cod and the Islands.
Creative Exchange Programs
Capacity-Building Program
A five-month program that guides artists in creating a roadmap identifying goals for their creative business and action steps for achieving them. Artists in the Cohort have access to one-on-one coaching with the Arts Foundation's Programs Manager, plus alumni-led and peer-led small group sessions; connection to other creatives on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket to support one another on their professional journeys; workshops focused on strengthening and growing their business; a public showcase of their work; and a $1,000 working capital grant awarded at program completion.
Virtual and in-person events + workshops
We are building a stronger arts sector through forging strong connections. Our meetups are purposefully designed to foster meaningful relationships among artists, arts leaders, and individuals contributing to the arts.
