Practice//Practice‘s spring session will take place November 1st through 4th, 2017 at AS220’s Campus in downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
The 4-day residency program consists of a series of workshops and discussions, presentations by participants and faculty, a tour to visit partner arts organizations, hands-on making sessions in AS220’s Industries and, of course, a party! Workshops will include presentations and breakout sessions with AS220 staff and expert visiting faculty, and will allow plenty of time for discussion and debate. In the spirit of Practice//Practice, some workshops also involve working sessions, bringing theoretical discourse into the practical realm.
Using AS220’s history and practices as a jumping off point, topics covered include: organizational sustainability (finances, structure, fundraising); strategic development (mission/vision/values development, leadership, transparency); property (the issues involved in acquiring and owning a building); accessibility (affordability and diversity); and collaboration (building internal and cross-sector partnerships). A final schedule is decided based the goals of each session’s particular cohort.
Registration for Practice//Practice is limited to 20 spaces in order to encourage open and meaningful dialogue among participants. Tuition cost is sliding scale $500 to $1000. *see bottom of the page for more details

Thanks to generous support from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, AS220 is pleased to extend one Sustainable Arts Foundation Parent Fellowship for a parent to attend the Fall 2017 session of Practice//Practice! We believe that it’s important to make this in-person learning available to everyone and recognize that attending the program may pose significant challenges for participants with children. The Sustainable Arts Foundation Parent Fellowship awarded will cover $750 in tuition, $250 for childcare while the recipient attends the program, and up $1,000 as needed to subsidize transportation and lodging costs. More info on the Sustainable Arts Foundation Parent Fellowship here.
Note: State Arts Councils will often match tuition costs for professional development opportunities.
Another note: We require all participants to be present for the program kick-off evening on Wednesday November 1st through the evening of November 4th. Please ensure your travel plans allow you to arrive on time for a 3pm start on Wednesday November 1st and departure on Sunday November 5th.
