From February 2023 – June 2023, WolfBrown worked with the Social Impact team of the Kennedy Center to complete case studies of their programs, ranging from Millennium Stage performances to public dance classes and local theater residencies. The work will be included in the Kennedy’s Center reports to the programs’ sponsors at the Mellon Foundation. Dr. Dennie Palmer Wolf and Kathleen Hill collaborated with Stanford Smith of Goldsmith Partners.
WolfBrown is collaborating with the Kennedy Center’s Turnaround Arts program by supporting staff and educators in their newly redesigned program. WolfBrown consultant, Dr. Dennie Palmer Wolf, will collaborate on developing new resources that include an enhanced framework with a focus on art and belonging and how to document program and school growth; development of an implementation plan for the pilot year; develop arts-informed strategies for participating educators to document their development; develop a pilot design for Turnaround Arts national anchor projects; and suggest indicators for charting the success of the initiative.
