You don’t have to hang up your artistry to build a career in the arts. Sopranos and Strategists is a practical, honest session about transitioning from performance to a dual career in nonprofit arts administration,  without losing your creative identity along the way.

Led by a working opera singer and BI's Director of Institutional Advancement, this session breaks down what arts admin looks like from the inside: the roles, the realities, and the opportunities for artists who want to shape the future of cultural organizations. This presentation will provide resources on how to translate your artistic training into strategic skills, navigate the job landscape, and position yourself for work that’s both creative and sustainable.
