Emerging Arts Leaders/Los Angeles

Emerging Arts Leaders/Los Angeles is a project of Community Partners and is a local chapter of Americans for the Arts national Emerging Leaders Council. EAL/LA is a network of emerging leaders in the field of arts administration whose purpose is to grow and support the next generation of creative leaders in Los Angeles County. Members conceive of programs designed to expand their network, share resources, and enhance their professional development. EAL/LA members self-identify as Emerging Arts Leaders. Americans for the Arts defines emerging leaders as early career, under 35 and/or with less than five years experience in arts management. EAL/LAers share a desire to deepen their leadership capacity by developing innovative, effective, and responsible management practices. They represent organizations from all arts disciplines, in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and include artists, administrative coordinators, managers, and directors, arts funders, patrons, and consultants.
