Leveraging Data and Documentation to Strengthen the Work of Arts Administrators

Thursday March 20, 2025 12:00pm - 12:50pm EDT

Kentucky International Convention Center, L016

Given that quantifying the impact of the arts risks sacrificing our essential value, but arts education data is increasingly valuable in times of crisis and funding cuts, it is beneficial for arts administrators to explore tools for simplifying the process of collecting and using data. This session provides administrators time to refine their toolkits.
