Institute for Cultural Entrepreneurship

Cooperstown Graduate Program announces its third annual Institute for Cultural Entrepreneurship (ICE) May 6-9, 2012. Twenty (20) openings are available for mid-career museum professionals at the spring 2012 entrepreneurial training program in Cooperstown, N.Y. 

ICE’s enrichment program teaches museum, preservation, historic site and other arts and culture professionals the entrepreneurial skills designed to strengthen institutions and build on sustainability while engaging community.

 

Here's what fellows from the 2011 institute said about their ICE experience:

• ICE gave me "a new framework for problem solving, or rather taking challenges and transforming them into opportunities." - Laura Thayer
• "Create the buzz folks - this program rocks!" - Elizabeth Shapiro
• "Using the interaction and experiences I had at ICE has really allowed me to envision and plan for a future with a clarity that I did not have before." - Matthew Mittelstadt

ICE tuition is $500 and includes most meals and your stay at the historic Otesaga Resort Hotel ( http://www.otesaga.com/ ) on Otsego Lake in Cooperstown. Some scholarships are available.
