One-on-one mentoring
Every member of the Arts Council has access to one-to-one mentoring, a valuable benefit of Arts Council membership. The Arts Council staff is on hand to assist its members with tasks related to running a nonprofit such as managing a database or developing a new program, writing a corporate proposal or connecting with other professionals. For more information regarding one-on-one services, please call the Arts Council at 616-459-2787.
