One of the most significant accomplishments of Business Council for the Arts (BCA) has been the Leadership Arts Institute. This program prepares executives and leaders from a wide network of North Texas businesses for high-level board involvement with cultural groups in the region. Graduates now sit on myriad arts/cultural boards across North Texas and are contributing their business skills to ensure the health and vitality of the region's cultural sector. Simultaneously, the leadership skills gained in the program can be transferred to the workplace and contribute to business success.
