What we did

Plan


ArtRise Projects worked with the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center’s (SAPAC) Executive Team and Board of Trustees to plan and facilitate a two-day retreat. SAPAC’s leadership team embarked upon the process of envisioning the Center’s contributions to the cultural discourse within the Asian Pacific American community, the national fields of arts and culture, and the Smithsonian institution. In addition, ArtRise facilitated a dialog with cultural community leaders to introduce the Center’s mission, programs, and impact and glean feedback about how its resources could be put to best use to address the needs of target audiences.
