The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) is proud to announce that the application period for CreateNYC: Leadership Accelerator, a professional development program for aspiring leaders in NYC cultural organizations, is now open. The program, developed by the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) and the CUNY Creative Arts Team, is designed for mid-level staff working at non-profit cultural organizations that receive DCLA funding.
We invite you to share this opportunity widely with your staff. There is a competitive selection process to identify up to 20 participants for a spring 2020 cohort. Participation is free of charge. Applications will be accepted until 11:59pm on Sunday, February 9, 2020. Late or incomplete applications cannot be accepted.

What is CreateNYC: Leadership Accelerator?

DCLA has created a series of initiatives as an outgrowth of DCLA’s diversity initiative based on learnings from the Workforce Demographics Pilot Survey conducted by SMU DataArts as well as public feedback during the planning phases of the CreateNYC cultural plan. This program is an effort to invest in mid-level cultural workers and promote diversity and equity in the cultural workforce. It is intended to provide an opportunity for professional development that will help strengthen the management skills that are integral to career growth and mobility and to build a diverse network of peers who can support one another as they develop into future leaders.
Who is eligible to participate?

This application is open to mid-level staff who work at a New York City non-profit cultural organization that receives DCLA funding; part time and full time staff are welcome to apply. While the definition of mid-level may vary from organization to organization, this professional development course is best suited for employees with significant experience in the field and who manage programs and/or staff.
Cost

This program is fully funded by the Department of Cultural Affairs. There is no cost to apply or to attend.
When and where will the program take place?

The course will consist of one (1) half-day orientation (9:30am-12:00pm) and five (5) full-day sessions (10:00am-4:30pm). Selected participants will be expected to attend all six days. Sessions will be in a classroom setting and held in Manhattan. The course meeting dates are as follows:
