Seeing how people work and talk together, whether it be in arts or another field would definatly be a huge deal. if you could pinpoint action which may be detrimental to the the progress of arts and stop them that would be a good thing. This would be a very interesting project since we all know that people involved in the arts are not quite like other people, myself included...

Andrew,

I think it's pretty cool that you went to the conference to hear the conversations that people were having about this matter. Sometimes that's the best way of getting responses that are mostly true. Why didn't you all do a survey as well?

Andrew-

There were many interesting observations in this document that I have never seen emerge in discussions or studies before. Some I suspected but never had any corroboration.

I was wondering why the suggestions made and voted upon at the Town Halls weren't included. I don't believe they were even referenced. Though I could have missed a mention.

The initiatives that rose to the top of the voting are probably the best examples of your team's observation that no one was quite sure who would be advancing the priorities.

There were other issues raised by the report that were equally applicable. Certainly choices were likely made to omit a great deal of material. The mere fact that different arts disciplines came together to vote on a plan of collective action seemed ready made for your effort. Why wasn't it examined in greater detail?
