Open Call for ArtsFwd Blogging Fellows. Deadline: Sept. 17th

ArtsFwd seeks two Blogging Fellows to contribute regular content to the ArtsFwd blog from October 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

ArtsFwd (ArtsFwd.org) is an initiative of EmcArts (EmcArts.org) that provides a place for arts leaders to share and learn about innovation and “next practices” in the sector.  Since launching in December 2011, ArtsFwd has become a leading source of case studies and analysis on innovation and adaptive change in the arts and has been featured on Createquity, You’ve Cott Mail, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, ArtsJournal, and the Center for the Future of Museums blog.

Blogging Fellows will be expected to contribute posts of 500 to 800 words twice monthly for a four month term about topics including organizational innovation, adaptive leadership, and sustainability in the arts, with a focus on models of success. Fellows will also be expected to monitor comments on their posts and respond as appropriate. Topics for posts will be selected and edited in collaboration with the EmcArts staff, and may include analysis of sector trends and current events, interviews with arts leaders and non-arts innovators, book reviews, and roundups of news and events. Posts are expected to be thoroughly researched.

This is an opportunity to help shape the voice of a significant resource for arts practitioners, funders, arts management students, arts academics, bloggers, funders, policy makers, innovation experts and other users. With ArtsFwd, we seek to cultivate a community of users who share a commitment to organizational innovation in the arts, and remain curious, open and encouraging of exploration of new ideas. Our overall aim is to move the dialogue about the vital importance of innovation and adaptive capacities from the margins to the center of discourse about the future of our field.
