Conference for Fundraisers and Grantmakers 2007

October 21 24, 2007, Taos New Mexico

Grantmakers of the Arts (GIA) will hold a special conference for fundraising and grantmaking in October 2007. The event will explore expansive ideas that inform arts philanthropy with a host of thinkers from different disciplines. The inspiring landscape and layered cultures of the Southwest will offer new vantage point for examining our work, our assumptions, and ourselves.

The prospective participants will write the agenda themselves. A poll of GIA members will identify questions facing art grantmakers and topics for further exploration during the conference. You will draw the map, as every participant will have a role in providing content and interacting with colleagues as part of the program. Each registrant will be asked to contribute their expertise at one or more opportunities during the retreat.

A group of key thinkers from across the arts landscape and from other disciplines will anchor the proceedings, providing essays in advance of the conference and leading discussions on these and other topics during the retreat. GIA will erase the line between the presenter and the audience, and online discussions will include those who are not there in person.
