The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego has created a new opportunity for arts organizations to offer innovative arts programming to broader audiences. MCASD wishes to invite non-profit arts organizations to enter into programming partnerships. Through shared resources and expertise, the goal of these partnerships is to engage new audiences in the contemporary arts and further the artistic purposes of both organizations.

The Partnership may consist of some or all of the following features:

• Reduced or waived rental fees of MCASD facilities
• Shared costs and/or shared revenues
• Shared marketing and public relations
• Exchanged patron privileges beyond partnership
• Co-hosted receptions and events related to the program
• Shared educational opportunities

Proposals will only be accepted from non-profit arts organizations whose artistic purpose complements that of MCASD's. Proposals should not exceed three single-sided pages.

Proposals should include the following information:

• Organization's name
• Organization's artistic mission
• Desired outcome of partnership
• Description of proposed partnership
• Schedule of program
• Target audience (audience profile and size)
• Purpose/Goal of program

MCASD receives many more worthwhile proposals than it can manage. Consequently, partnerships can be established with only a relatively small percentage of the many meritorious proposals considered.
