Overview
A project of Arts Council Silicon Valley, genARTS Silicon Valley was established in 2007 to provide arts administrators between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five with a network for knowledge sharing and learning opportunities. In addition, genARTS works in partnership with arts organizations in its region to help young professionals gain the skills, resources, contacts, and confidence they need to emerge as prepared arts leaders. With continued support, the steering committee of twelve rising arts professionals plans to refresh the genARTS brand and website, diversify its sources of income, continue to implement its regular programming, and expand opportunities for its participants to take on leadership roles within the network.
