Proven Track Record

Experience

We have worked at the oldest performing arts center in the USA and helped start some of the newest. We have designed and built exhibits for museums throughout the country, created theme park attractions, pre-Broadway shows, and productions in rotating repertory. Keene Consulting understands how culture and entertainment organizations work. We know how to design buildings to support artistic and economic goals; create efficient operational and financial systems; provide world class customer service experiences and training; and produce the most adventurous special events you can imagine.

Grounded, Hands-On Experience

About

Neil launched Keene Consulting in 2020 with the goal of leveraging his broad experience to support cultural institutions and art professionals in new ways. With over 60 combined years of experience that span regional theater, performing arts, special events, and themed entertainment, Neil and Alys have had the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the greatest artists and cultural leaders of our time. Keene Consulting is their latest foray into making the world better through art.

There is no such thing as a 'one-size-fits-all' solution for anything in the arts. We know that each organization has a unique mission, values, culture, and needs. Keene Consulting does our best work when collaborating with you and your team to develop custom solutions that are not only actionable in the short term, but will be sustainable over time. If you or your organization is faced with a challenge - even one you can't quite describe - let's talk! Our passion is assisting arts leaders in finding unique solutions to unique problems.

We have made a life study of how to lead small and large institutions.

We understand how to create success artistically and financially.
