ArtsManaged CompassArtsManaged Compass is your AI-fueled arts management thinking partner - sharpening your practice, not writing your content - built on three decades of teaching and research in the nonprofit arts.
Join the WaitlistArts managers often navigate complex challenges on their own. Colleagues and mentors who understand the work are busy doing their own work. Fieldwide “best practices” don't fit the local terrain.
When you're stuck — on a governance question, a financial puzzle, a marketing move, a strategic decision — the options are a Google search, a trusted colleague if you're lucky, or pushing through on your own.
Generic AI tools can give you general ideas and content. But they lack the unique context of arts management, the connections of your own experience, and the complexity of your particular environment.
Created and curated by E. Andrew Taylor — who has spent three decades teaching, researching, and writing about nonprofit arts management — ArtsManaged Compass draws on the ArtsManaged Field Guide, weekly ArtsManaged Field Notes, the Ten Functions of Arts Management, and more than twenty additional frameworks developed or selected through that work.
It doesn't give you answers. It helps you craft better questions — surfacing the frameworks and perspectives that fit your specific situation.
A challenge, a question, a decision you're facing in your arts management practice.
ArtsManaged Compass asks questions, surfaces relevant frameworks, and helps you find the better path.
Download your profile or session report. Read it. Edit it. Bring it back to pick up where you left off.
Evolving AI systems can certainly write for you. But that doesn't build your capacity for better practice.
What makes you better is thinking more clearly about your program logic, your theory of change, your organizational dynamics — and then crafting solutions yourself, in your voice, from a place of genuine and lived understanding.
ArtsManaged Compass helps reveal the path to get there.
