Creating an elevator pitch for an organisation that lives at the nub of the Arts and disability (and with a bit of political push for social change)
Glass Ceiling Arts Collective
Estimated Time: 5 - 8 Hours Over 0 - 1 Days
Glass Ceiling Arts Collective is a new(ish) Arts charity which supports marginalised communities, with a focus on young people with disabilities. Our point of difference is that we employ inclusive participation in our classes. Really though, we're more than just an Arts charity; we're an organisation which supports socially inclusive communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. While our mission is really clear, our elevator pitch which sits alongside our mission has always been a bit clumsy. This project is (we hope) the first of several which will explore our "why" so that the public immediately understand and support us. Deliverable: the perfect elevator pitch.
