I'm off to Anchorage next week to speak to the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies Leadership Institute, a collection of some 100+ board members, executive directors, and deputy directors of state arts agencies. I'll try to post my keynote address shortly after I deliver it on Tuesday (okay, give me until Wednesday). I'm also leading two workshops considering the next generation of leadership (or lack thereof) for public arts agencies.

Should be a lively crowd in a glorious setting. And as with many other areas of arts and culture, public agencies are in a particularly interesting and challenging place at the moment -- defining what, exactly, they do, and by what means they should do it.

More to come. Hope to see some of you there.
