Project details

What we need
  • Personalized feedback and up to 5 coaching sessions with one member of the Organization
  • Document outlining strengths, weaknesses, and suggested next steps and/or resources for the member
Additional details

I would like to improve my public speaking. I would like to learn better techniques especially in improvising a welcome speech and presentation techniques.

What we have in place
  • In 2013 I founded with my family a public non profit art laboratory ( art museum). Www.esmoa.org.
    The best resource is our webpage. It shows all the projects we are creating.
    Unfortunately I don't have a video of myself giving a speech. Maybe a good start of improvement would be the delivery of our mission statement.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,460 , allowing us to Spend funds for our programs.

Improving my public speaking abilities, will help to find more donors and sponsors for our organizatio.

Our mission

artlab21 Foundation is a public, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization operating ESMoA. Defined as an Arts Laboratory rather than a traditional museum, ESMoA's mission is to act as a catalyst for creative thinking in the Los Angeles County South Bay -- Spreading The Spark of Creativity-- with a focus on experimental exhibitions, community engagement, and arts education. ESMoA seeks to recalibrate rules of understanding, knowing, and doing through the arts. ESMoA believes that art, art education, and the humanities are at the foundation of any society.

What we do

ESMoA's triangular programming structure is anchored by the following elements:

1) Experiences (our word for exhibitions):
Experimental, broadly themed exhibitions that take place over several months and are always free and open to the public. Each spotlights a theme featuring one or multiple contemporary artists. Experiences serve as the focal point for our educational curriculum and public programs.

2) Arts Education and Public Programs:
Developed to accompany each Experience exhibition, ESMoA's Public Programs are designed for all ages and abilities ranging from art making and artist engagements, to family and teen themed activities, to workshops, lectures, screenings and film festivals.
ESMoA's free School Field Trips create opportunities for equitable participation and access to high quality, robust, and stimulating arts education for students from all over the South Bay and LA County.


3) Artists in Residence:
ESMoA's priority to nurture diverse contemporary practices led to the creation of our two residency programs. The international AIR program is an on-site, 3 months residency for an international artist who is nominated by institutional partners. ESMoA's LAB residency is an open call for an LA-based artist to create an original, commissioned artwork, performance or composition that responds to the current Experience exhibition.

Testimonials

It was a great experience working with Tara. We decided to focus on our organization's pitch. Tara created great exercises for me to rethink and rewrite a better pitch. She is very organized, extremely professional and just a joy to talk to. I can highly recommend Tara for future projects. Tara helped me to be confident and strong in delivering my pitch to potential sponsors. Thank you!

Public Speaking Coach Project

Great experience working with ESMoA. Eva was coachable and worked the suggested assignments given so that she could obtain maximum benefit of the services. She was fluid and flexible in her approach, very openminded. I learned a great deal about the art community as well.
