Featuring New Village Arts
For over 22 years, New Village Arts has been a pillar of Carlsbad’s arts scene, but rising production costs, employment law changes, and recent capital improvements created financial challenges. Seeking sustainable solutions, New Village Arts partnered with SVP to develop strategies for revenue growth, marketing, board governance, and financial stability.
The SVP team—Philip Lurie (Lead), Peggy Maher, and Renee Zau—helped New Village Arts refine its operations, leading to the hiring of a General Manager to streamline HR, accounting, and administrative functions, freeing leadership to focus on artistic and strategic priorities. The organization also secured a $750K grant from the Conrad Prebys Foundation, including a $625K matching grant, strengthening its financial footing.
To ensure long-term sustainability, New Village Arts is actively expanding its board and enhancing its marketing strategy to drive fundraising and audience engagement. Looking ahead, the nonprofit plans to collaborate with SVP on a strategic financial plan to navigate capital debt and rising production costs.
"Working with the SVP team was an incredible gift for New Village Arts. All three members of our team shared their expertise and support and made a positive impact on the organization. We look forward to continued partnership for the good of the arts in our community." — Kristianne Kurner, Executive Artistic Director
