Abstract:

Planning that leads to cooperative use of resources among arts organizations is an activity that requires modest expenditure. Which, of course, fits the unwritten objective of most arts groups to do the most for the least amount of money. Cooperative ventures include joint purchasing, group health policies, joint fund raising, publicity, community calendars, shared facilities and a myriad of other money-saving techniques. (p.11)
