In early 2007, the Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) launched a nonprofit Project Incubator in San Francisco, CA to support the development of new knowledge, tools and programs that can result in advancements, and even breakthroughs, in the support system for artists in the field.
Ironically, there has been little room for real experimentation and “failure” in the nonprofit arts arena. Yet research has shown that innovations in the ways artists are trained, funded, housed and insured, validated by the public and connected to the marketplace, and each other, are sorely needed. The CCI Incubator will serve as both a think tank and research and development lab to address such needs.
CCI will work with select teams of thought leaders, funders, artists, field practitioners and other innovation partners who have the capacity and readiness to work strategically on specific problem-solving projects. Works-in-progress will be highlighted on this web page, and we welcome your thoughts and feedback on these efforts in all phases of their development.
