Montana Arts Council Bridge Plan

Our discussion of the strategic planning process during the December Council meeting was productive and allowed us to arrive at a refined set of planning pillars for our bridge plan to address as we begin to develop the full strategic plan. These pillars and their key components below will be the focus of our strategic planning process and will guide us toward specific tactics to identfy and implement in the plan.

Final Proposed Bridge/Adaptive Plan Text from December Council Meeting Discussion

EQUITY

• Create a focus on smaller organizations providing arts
• Every region, organization, and artist must have equitable opportunity to acquire resources to rebuild.
• Impact of investments should guide funding

ACCESS

• Resources will be targeted to specifically include those that have been historically underserved, and to preserve what is at risk of being lost.
• Increase focus on Native and rural communities (population, culture).
• Facilitating technology (or lack of technology)

CONNECTION

• Prioritize time to engage statewide and regional networks for the mutual benefit of artists,

organizations, and communities.

• Value and seek out input from key
• Further connect with non-arts organizations providing arts programming, and community projects that involve the arts.
