Americans for the Arts is proud to host our final ARTSblog Blog Salon of the year December 3-€“7 as our Animating Democracy program tackles the topic of scaling up in a series of posts asking "Does Size Matter?"

The notion of scaling up has gained currency as arts organizations, artists, and funders seek greater impact from their efforts and investments. The idea of sharing something that is effective so that the benefits can be experienced by more people is attractive, especially when something is producing good results. Disseminating ideas, replicating programs, sharing models and practices, transferring skills and technology are all approaches to scaling up.

But, when is a creative project, program, or initiative ready to go to scale or when is staying small best?

Find out all week as 20 bloggers tell us about their experiences, and the experiences of others, when making the decision to scale up!
