If you’re serious about succeeding as a nonprofit arts organization, you’re going to want to pick up the trilogy by going to scenechangebook.com or your favorite bookstore.
Happy new year, folks. I just wanted you to know that the final book in the Scene Change trilogy has been getting fantastic reviews and offers success stories in the midst of this calamitous financial chaos that we call the nonprofit arts sector. Kirkus Reviews just named it to their list of Best Indies of 2025. Here’s a short quote:
“The author is refreshingly willing to ask hard questions about the realities of nonprofit art groups today, reminding readers that, in addition to their missions, nonprofits have their own rules and responsibilities. Harrison’s analysis of the root of nonprofit problems — he believes they too often devolve into entities to please big donors (which ‘begets toxicity among donors, executives, and board leadership, and provides an elitist barrier to participants’) — is astute and characteristically pulls no punches. The author is equally frank in addressing the social issues that affect community projects, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone involved in the nonprofit arts world will gain immeasurably from reading this book (and its two enjoyably opinionated predecessors).
A punchy, outspoken argument for how nonprofit arts organizations should be run.”
Pick up the trilogy. It’s a bargain. You’ll get about $100,000 worth of valuable consulting work and pay only about fifty bucks for it. Simple as that.
And if you want to buy in bulk (25 or more) for your board or your staff, there’s a massive discount at bulkbookstore.com.
