Culture Crisis Lab: Are You Good in a Crisis?
A two-hour resilience workshop for trustees, volunteers and staff in cultural organisations
A fire in the stores. A funder pulling out overnight. A programming decision that brings public backlash down on your organisation. When something happens, the difference between an organisation that recovers and one that doesn’t comes down to whether the people in the room know what to do next. In this two-hour session, solicitor Keith Arrowsmith of ProArtsPlus draws on years of advising museums, theatres and galleries of every size to answer the question directly: what actually counts as a crisis, what does a good response look like, and what can you put in place now, however small your organisation, so that the next incident doesn’t catch you unprepared. No jargon, no heroics required — just a clear, workable framework you can start using the moment you leave the room.
