Daly Arts Consulting founder Michelle Daly develops award-winning projects across genres and always with a bold spirit of experimentation and community engagement.
MY APPROACH:
is based on my 16 years of experience as an Arts Administrator as well as my experience as an artist, specifically, a painter, and is rooted in my belief that cultural organizations do their best work when artists are invited into the process early and often. I call this approach ARTIST-FORWARD.
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
“Hands down, Common Folk would not be as strong without the support and guidance we have received over the years from Michelle. She has always helped us grow while respecting our identity, values, and vision.”
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS:
Just as no two artists work alike, every project has an individualized solution. Daly Arts Consulting facilitates this process by bringing artists, community members, and institutions together to identify common goals, lead from artistic intention, and support the realization of bold creative projects.
Our services include:
Existing program evaluations and assessments
