Accountability & the Arts: Finding Support from Local Businesses
The Shunpike is excited to announce the next installment of their successful Accountability & the Arts series. "Finding Support from Local Businesses" will be held Monday, April 14th at 7pm in the Seattle Center House. This session will offer methods and tools for identifying, contacting, and working with local businesses who want to sponsor small and emerging arts groups. It will feature Sue Guthrie, Senior Development Associate for the Seattle International Film Festival.
Through monetary sponsorship, in-kind donations, purchased advertising, or discounted rates, there are many ways a small business can enhance the resources of a small arts organization. In this one-hour workshop, find out how projects and organizations in the arts can reach out to some of the thousands of Seattle's local businesses and establish mutually beneficial relationships.
Senior Development Associate Sue Guthrie has been with Seattle International Film Festival for three-and-a-half years, focusing on corporate sponsorships and in-kind relationships with local businesses. Prior to that, she worked in development and marketing for Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, and formerly was an Equity actress in Seattle. She holds and MFA in Theatre and a certificate in Non-Profit Arts Management from the University of Washington.

The Accountability and the Arts series has been developed in support of The Shunpike's mission to strengthen the Seattle arts community by partnering with small and mid-size arts groups to develop the business tools they need to succeed. The series launched in April 2005 with a public forum on the concept of accountability, and has continued bimonthly ever since.
Accountability and the Arts is sponsored by 4Culture, the Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, and Seattle Center.
