Daly Arts Consulting

Daly Arts Consulting By utilizing an artist-forward approach, Daly Arts Consulting empowers artists and cultural institut I call this approach ARTIST-FORWARD.

My approach is based on over 16 years of experience as an Arts Administrator as well as my experience as an artist, and is rooted in my belief that cultural organizations do their best work when artists are invited into the process early and often. Daly Arts Consulting projects take many forms but are unified as activities that span the artistic, communal, and administrative to build an equitable

arts ecology that:

Values the contribution of artists who live and work in our region

Centers racial and social equity and accountability

Forges collaborations across creative disciplines and within community

Provokes possibilities and challenges assumptions

Flinging clothespin

Whats downstage becomes moved in darkness
