April 11, 2018
The Launch Pad was a program of the Oakland-based Flight Deck funded orgs through the Google Impact Challenge that supports small, community-based arts organizations in becoming job creators. The Launch Pad focuses on strengthening already-existing, small, Oakland-based organizations to grow a self-sustaining local arts economy and provide employment opportunities for talented low-income artists within their home community. The cohort of organizations participates in an intensive training program tailored to help arts organizations understand the integral relationship between their artistic vision and the infrastructure that is critical for the realization and sustenance of that vision.
