Off to Alaska

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.

Comments

Hello Andrew,

I'm one of the handful of Canadian EDs that will be in attendance at the NASAA institute. I am looking forward to both the institute and your keynote/workshops. I've been reading Artful Manager for a little over 2 years and enjoy both your comments and the valuable links to other resources. For an emerging leader in public arts funding (at least I hope to be), it has been a particularly valuable tool.

See you in a day or two.
