About The DeVos Institute Of Arts And Nonprofit Management

The DeVos Institute of Arts and Nonprofit Management provides training, consultation, and implementation support for arts managers and their boards.

It operates on the premise that while much is spent to train artists, too little is spent to support the managers and boards who keep those artists at work.

The DeVos Institute has served more than 1,000 organizations from over 80 countries since 2001. While environments, objectives, and disciplines vary, each of our clients shares the desire to create, market, and sustain exemplary cultural programs.

The DeVos Institute has designed its services to assist a wide range of institutions, from traditional performing and presenting organizations, museums, galleries, art schools, and libraries, to botanical gardens, glass-making studios, public art trusts, and nonprofit cinemas, to name a few.

The Institute was founded in 2001 at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. by President Michael M. Kaiser. In 2010, it received an unrestricted, multi-year commitment from the Dick and Betsy DeVos Foundation to support its pro bono consulting and teaching activities. In 2014, it transferred its operations to the University of Maryland, maintaining offices in Washington D.C. and partnering with the University on research, teaching, and fellowship initiatives serving thousands of students and practitioners worldwide.

Core Beliefs

At the DeVos Institute of Arts and Nonprofit Management, we believe that:

• Creative practice is an essential expression of the dignity, aspirations, and achievements of individuals, communities, and societies.
• The many valuable outcomes of creative practice include those that:
• empower through education and self-realization;
• inspire through beauty and awe;
• confront injustice and advance social change;
• encourage empathy for other perspectives and ways of life;
• affirm and celebrate personal identity; and
• affirm and celebrate collective humanity.
• People of every class, race, geography, age, ability, gender and sexual orientation have an equal right to pursue these outcomes through creative practice. This right remains at threat and requires active defense.
• Equitable access to, and distribution of, capital and training for creative practice is required for healthy societies to flourish.
• Healthy arts ecologies require collaboration between, and investment from, individuals, institutions, and government.
• Art – and the dialogue it provokes – is an instrument of peace. Pro-active support for creative practice as a platform for intercultural, and international, cooperation is required in a healthy global society.
