Panel: Art and Philanthropy: Building a Healthy Arts Ecosystem
Join the San Francisco Art Dealers Association (SFADA) for an inspiring panel discussion on the impact of giving back in the arts. The panelists will touch on the impact of arts philanthropy and the diverse ways to support a healthy arts ecosystem, from buying art or donating to nonprofits to investing in ventures that bolster the local arts economy. In addition to sharing their experiences in arts giving, the panelists will answer questions on how to get started in arts philanthropy, what questions to ask, and where to find relevant information.
The panel will include philanthropy specialist Christine Sherry, Principal of Sherry Consulting, and philanthropist Deborah Rappaport, Co-founder of Minnesota Street Project, and be moderated by Emiko Ono, Performing Arts Program Officer at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
