Scene Change 2: The Five Real Responsibilities of Nonprofit Arts Boards - Paperback

Today, nonprofit arts organizations are rushing into an elitist whirlpool of irrelevance. They're the only companies in the whole nonprofit sector where the beneficiary is also the donor. Donors donate so that donors may attend. In SCENE CHANGE, the first book in the series, we dived into the reasons that the arts have become simultaneously elitist and irrelevant in this Pre-Post-Pandemic Era in America. In SCENE CHANGE 2, we offer specific board responsibilities in order to create the space for the kind of charity for which communities are clamoring. This is a targeted list of the ways in which today's nonprofit arts organizations (theaters, symphonies, ballets, museums, operas, and all the rest) will have to significantly change their whole structure and the prism in which they do work. Companies that make these changes will be giving themselves the best chance to succeed in 2024 and beyond. Those that don't, won't.
