Relevance, Resources, & Revenue.

Do you feel overlooked and undervalued?

You’re not alone.

Too many leaders in the Arts face the same struggles: you feel overwhelmed and under-resourced - as if the funding deck is stacked against you.

Corporate giving in the Arts is at an all-time low, and funders keep increasing expectations for data and metrics. It's difficult to convey the less tangible aspects of your work, such as creativity and cultural impact.

But this doesn’t have to be your story anymore.

I’ve been there.

I know what it’s like to feel left behind and glossed over.

But I learned how to reframe my perspective, build perseverance & resonate with the right people, which changed everything.

At Meleca Creative Advisors, we understand the unique challenges arts leaders face: feeling overlooked, undervalued, and constantly fighting for funding in a landscape where corporate giving is at an all-time low. Funders demand more data and metrics than ever before, making it difficult to showcase the true cultural impact of your work. But this doesn’t have to be your story anymore.

That’s why we created the Institute for Arts Impact to provide arts organizations with real-time, transformational data to demonstrate their true public value. Once you have this data, MCA steps in to help you turn it into action. Our proven methodologies guide you through leveraging this information with stakeholders, city, county, and state officials, funders, educators, and audiences—deepening their understanding of your impact and increasing their investment.

By following our 5 Steps to Discovering Your Renaissance of Relevance, you’ll unlock your organization’s unique value and learn how to communicate it effectively. Imagine being more relevant than ever, backed by the resources and revenue to bring your vision to life. MCA and IAI provide the tools, strategies, and support to transform your organization’s impact into investment, ensuring your growth and long-term success.

  • Your talk got me thinking about how to quantify and communicate the impact of my work as an artist in an entirely new way. This paradigm shift can potentially reinvent how arts professionals view their missions, make them more financially secure, and increase their effect on audiences. I'm excited to see where this goes!
