Developed by Beth Kanter

This curriculum was originally based on "Rewiring the Arts Organization" Courseware created by Joe Matuzak for The School of the Art Institute of Chicago Master of Arts in Arts Administration course of the same title and further developed by Beth Kanter with assistance from our community of workshop leaders who have contributed their wisdom, ideas, and knowledge. Mona Jimenez, Nancy Clarke, Brian Goldfarb, David Low, Manny Rodriguez, Camille Aidala and Douglas Cohen. In addition, many thinkers in the Nonprofit/Technology field have provided much inspiration, including Marc Osten/Summit Consulting Collaborative, Michael Gilbert, TechRocks, Npower, TechSoup, and OneNorthwest.
