The Houston Arts Alliance is now accepting applications for the MODE Intensive Services Program (ISP)

DEADLINE: APRIL 20, 2009

Houston’s attractiveness as a cultural tourism destination requires public and private investment in the health and vibrancy of its nonprofit arts sector. With this in mind, Houston Arts Alliance initiated in the mid 1990s the Management & Organizational Development Enterprise (MODE) Program to provide specialized capacity building services to Houston’s arts organizations.

One of the key components is the MODE Intensive Services Program (ISP), which seeks to build the organizational capacity of small and mid-sized professional arts organizations in Houston. ISP facilitates these organizations’ artistic growth and strengthens them as channels for diverse cultural expression for visitors and area residents.

Working with Houston Arts Alliance staff and arts consultants, leadership teams from each organization will engage in a process to develop integrated strategies that enhance their artistic programs, strengthen governance and management and diversify resources. The end goal is to strengthen the nonprofit arts sector’s ability to present and produce exciting and innovative programs for residents and visitors of Houston.

The typed application and all supporting documents must be received at the Houston Arts Alliance office no later than 5:30 P.M. on April 20, 2009. This is not a postmark deadline. For more information, please contact Jerome Vielman, Programs & Services Manager, at 713.527.9330 ext. 117 or jerome@haatx.com.
