The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage
The Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative

The Philadelphia Cultural Management Initiative (PCMI) seeks to strengthen the management capacity of cultural organizations in Greater Philadelphia in ways that propel programmatic excellence and help organizations engage audiences. PCMI does not see organizational development as an end in itself, but rather as a set of activities that propel and support continuous improvement in an organization's programming and ability to effectively engage audiences. It works in concert with the Artistic Initiatives of the The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage to focus its support on organizations that have demonstrated a history of programmatic excellence, that will help them build administrative and adaptive capacity to meet the challenges of a changing economy, ever-shifting audiences, and an increasingly competitive cultural sector.
