Blueprint for Collective Action
By supporting a wide variety of art forms and providing strategic leadership for the arts sector in the broader community, ArtsWave creates an environment where the growing impact of the arts is felt and celebrated by the entire community.
The Blueprint for Collective Action provides a focus for ArtsWave’s community investments and strategic initiatives for the next ten years. The Blueprint is designed to achieve three things:
- Align with broader community objectives;
- Provide more clarity and specificity around the kinds of activities and outcomes ArtsWave desires; and
- Leverage more support from the community by demonstrating relevance to the community.
Blueprint Goals and Roles
The Blueprint is based on the following principles:
- All goals have equal priority.
- Every arts organization plays a part in achieving our collective goals through a wide variety of activities and programs that create community impact -– some new, many already established.
- Individual arts organizations (of any size or discipline) can play specific roles in support of the achievement of each goal.
- No single arts organization can fulfill all roles for all goals all the time. A diverse arts community supporting many different types of organizations and activities is necessary to fulfill all roles and achieve all goals.
- A single activity or program may fulfill several roles and may advance progress on more than one goal.
- ArtsWave, too, has specific roles to play in the achievement of each goal. ArtsWave must leverage its position as leader, connector, aggregator, and partner to build capacities sector-wide.
