"In the winter of 2021, after decades as a predominantly white arts institution, The Flea was faced with a unique opportunity. We needed a partner to guide a process of restoration, reevaluation and forward visioning. CJAM was built to meet this opportunity. With their diverse skills and expertise, we were able to restore and repair relationships with former staff and artists, create a new mission and values for our company and to pioneer a truly original operating model to serve our constituencies. A model that has enjoined major philanthropic support and is shaping up as a hallmark for our field. Their values aligned commitment to the work of Black, brown and queer artists has made them the ideal partners for us on several projects."
