Exciting Changes at PCMI!
Summer is usually a time for cleaning out your files and finding the bottom of your inbox, but, as you know, here at PCMI we have been busy examining and refocusing our program to bring it into closer alignment with The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage’s overall focus on fostering and supporting programmatic excellence. In a few weeks we will be sharing the details of this re-envisioning with you, but for now we can say that PCMI will be a more streamlined program that emphasizes the ways in which strong management is a tool to propel programmatic aspiration and achievement, and to connect cultural work of high quality to broad and diverse audiences.

This document reports the key findings from the Review of Capitalization Needs and Challenges of Philadelphia-area Arts and Culture Organizations, a study commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the William Penn Foundation and conducted by TDC, a nonprofit research and consulting firm based in Boston.
