From Our Clients

Northrop at the University of Minnesota

“Northrop had the great pleasure of working with TOC Arts Partners as we undertook a significant organizational restructuring. Their breadth of knowledge related to effective systems and structures and how to go about making realignments, specifically in the arts field, made them invaluable thought partners.” - Kari Schloner, Executive Director

Turnaround Arts National at The John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts

“We hired TOC Arts Partners to help us create a multi-year strategic plan but we got so much more than that. Not only did we arrive at a final document that reflected our values around racial equity and social justice, but the process itself mirrored our values and working culture. The planning sessions TOCG designed were energizing and enlightening.” - Holly Bass, National Director
