Jacob’s Pillow
The 2024 Virtual National Dance Presenter’s Forum is one of the only spaces for presenters and curators from dance venues across the country to come together in a peer-to-peer environment. In 2023, the forum returned as a virtual engagement for 2023 to engage in a research process and gather a new cohort of presenters to better understand their needs, and applied those learnings to the 2024 Virtual National Dance Presenters Forum.
Understanding Arts Service Organizations in a Changing Arts Ecosystem
Led by ADC Consulting, Understanding Arts Service Organizations in a Changing Arts Ecosystem is a national research study which aims to understand the role, impacts and ongoing evolution of arts service, intermediary, and regranting organizations in a “post-pandemic” world.

ADC Consulting undertook research, analysis, visioning and planning to guide APAP toward a Sustainability Plan that syncs a set of carefully researched priorities into a series of actionable steps.
