2025 Arts Leadership Institute

This year’s Arts Leadership Institute will be held on April 29-30, 2025, in Sioux Falls. Come together with arts leaders, trainers, and panelists from across South Dakota to learn more about how you can develop your organization’s audience by providing accessible experiences developed in collaboration with your community. You won’t want to miss this opportunity!

As arts organizations, we work hard to make an impact by creating programming with the community, and not just for the community, to broaden our reach and develop new audiences.

One key factor to providing these types of experiences is accessibility. The 35th Anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act this year is a great time to revisit conversations surrounding accessibility with lessons that apply to helping your whole community feel welcome and engaged, including physical accessibility, representation and cross-cultural conversations.

Tailored to both rural and non-rural organizations, these sessions will feature practical tools to expand your audience and create even more vibrant organizations across the state.

Join for learning and opportunities to network with your colleagues, along with helpful resources and follow-up cohorts to help implement what you have learned.
