Studio Loba offers three types of consulting for Arts and Social Justice organizations, cities, and foundations:

  • Cultural Power in Community | Stakeholder Engagement: We design and facilitate stakeholder engagement processes that involve communities as decision-makers in projects and initiatives related to art, culture, and community development. This includes cultural plans and urban planning projects.

  • Operationalizing the Future | Strategic Advising: We advise on strategic initiatives, with a focus on: Community-Centered Programming and Artist Cohort Development. If you have a Strategic Plan in place, we support you in realizing it.

  • Together in Leadership | Leadership Advising: We provide what we have found to be much needed support and counsel for arts leaders to reflect on and strengthen their leadership practice in alignment with justice and equity. We guide leaders through growth, co-directorship relationships, board and staff relations, change processes, and organizational shifts. We hold space to resource leaders with guidance and support on their journey.
