With support from the California Arts Council, Fulcrum Arts (formerly Pasadena Arts Council) will hire consultant Laura Zucker to develop a 3-year strategic plan for Fulcrum Arts, which will include goals, strategies to achieve these goals with benchmarks, operational considerations, and funding requirements and recommendations. The desired outcome is an actionable plan that guides the board and staff to move forward in an impactful way, capitalizing on their strong past and rich potential.
We focus on the intersection of art, science, and social change across the spheres of human creative achievement and reflect on the diverse cultural groups that comprise the Pacific Rim. This geographic focus favors a multicultural dialogue, decentralizing Eurocentric historical narratives in favor of more inclusive perspectives.
The Emerge program supports a broad spectrum of independent artists, collectives, and arts organizations through fiscal sponsorship, professional development, and administrative services. These projects reflect a remarkable variety of artistic practice and dedication to the community that encourage and celebrate the creative expression of groups traditionally underrepresented in mainstream arts institutions; service organizations for artists; and projects that use the arts in the service of social practice.
Fulcrum Arts also offers support to artists, independent arts organizations, and non-profit cultural organizations through fiscal sponsorship, professional development, consulting, and financial services.
