3-5 Year Goals (brainstorming) –

• Establish a fact-finding committee to research organizations like Strickland School in Pittsburgh and the school in Jackson, Michigan.
• Pull together the resources to develop a prototype program for Flint.
• Identify possible locations and funding sources.
• Establish headquarters with several satellite studios, all in close proximity of downtown, as well as urban neighborhoods.
• Establish county-wide programs, bringing all groups together to perform an exhibit.
• Implement a marketing program that advertises available programs for everyone living in our communities that would encompass public TV, print, schools as either a participant or attendee.
• Make use of existing facilities like Central High School, Buick Administration Building, Capital Theater and Windmill Place.
• Establish an artist-in-residence program.
• County-wide, grades 9-12, a fine arts magnet, including academics.
• Add studio space for artists to live and work in that would include all necessary equipment.
• Provide space for student artists to live and work.
• Establish a fine arts center.
• Have an artist festival like the one in Pontiac.
• Establish a recording studio in downtown area.
• Recruit staff from other cities and from underutilized local artists.

Final 3-5 Year Goals –

• Establish a Fine Arts Academy and Resource Center Campus.
• This would include a Fine Arts Academy. Components include academics, art programs and humanities.
• This Fine Arts Academy would interact with the second component, which would be an Artist Resource Center.
• The Artist Resource Center will include a place where artists can live and work, a place that students would be bussed to for specialized instruction. The space would include equipment necessary for the artist, and there would be re-training programs in the arts for the general public.
• Develop a business plan to implement these organizations, or to bring these organizations about that would include a strong marketing component, as well as a strong emphasis on research of existing schools like Strickland in Pittsburgh.
