I have to be honest, I haven\u2019t finished it yet <\/em>because I\u2019m constantly having to digest <\/strong><\/em>the \u2018YES\u2019 and \u2018AMEN\u2019 moments<\/strong> I get from each section.
<\/em>Beth Philemon, ChoirBaton Podcast<\/p>\n

The first time I read Doug Borwick\u2019s Building Communities, Not Audiences<\/u> I could not stop smiling. <\/em>Borwick . . . hammers home the lesson that for \u201cpractical and moral reasons, arts institutions need to be more deeply and sincerely connected to their communities.\u201d <\/em>I strongly encourage everyone involved in the arts, <\/em>elected officials, and funders to read Borwick\u2019s book!
