Isinglass

Isinglass is a nonprofit think tank working to prepare performing artists, arts organizations, and audiences for their shared artistic, technological, and economic future. At Isinglass, we believe that a city's performing arts form an ecosystem, with each organization, artist, and school completely interdependent on every other organization, artist, and school. The health of that ecosystem relies on there being big dance troupes, and thriving small theatre groups, and chamber operas, and everything in between. It depends on there being kids who will point to performance as a defining part of their childhood who want it to be a part of their children's experience. It requires programming and services that have evolved to meet the demands and needs of rising digital- and mobile-native generations, and artists, administrators, and community leaders who realize that we rise and fall together as an industry and an artform.Isinglass conceptualizes, develops and implements programs focused around arts education, audience development, and digital integration. By examining the problems facing performing arts ecosystems and identifying creative solutions to them, we can make the arts more relevant and accessible.
