Triangle Leadership Collective Kicks Off 2026/27 Programming

Written By Beth Yerxa

Being an Executive Director can be a challenging and sometimes lonely job. That’s why Triangle ArtWorks offers a support group to allow these leaders to come together for networking, peer-support and learning. The 2026/27 program schedule for the Triangle Arts Leadership Collective, supported by Triangle Community Foundation, kicks off in February!
