The Arts & Business Council of New York seeks to train the next generation of arts leaders. Programs are structured for college undergraduates, for mid-career arts administrators, and for volunteer board leadership.

Arts Leadership Institute
The Arts Leadership Institute (ALI) is a unique educational initiative for mid-career arts managers, created in partnership with Columbia University and sponsored by JPMorgan Chase. Over the course of a semester, participants explore internal and external environmental analysis, resource assessment, personal leadership styles, board relations, strategic change, and more.

Arts Management Internship Program
The Arts & Business Council of New York introduces college students to career opportunities in arts management. Each summer, a select group of undergraduates are matched with New York arts organizations and with business mentors to complete project-based internships.

Board Services
The volunteer leadership of New York’s arts organizations is essential to their success and dependent upon informed participation by the business community. ABC/NY is developing programs in board recruitment and placement, designed to help both staff and trustees.

Emerging Leaders of New York Arts
Emerging Leaders of New York Arts aims to bring together local, young arts administrators to discuss challenges specific to their field and generation.
