A Conference for the Next Generation of Arts Leaders |
The Future is Us was the first
event of its kind. Student Advocates for the Arts (SAA) presented
this conference with the firm conviction that students can make
a difference as active participants in this country’s democratic
system. The event brought together current arts and cultural leaders
to address the next generation of arts leaders.
Through it, SAA hopes to contribute to the groundswell
of motivated future leaders who understand the power of grassroots
community organizing and its possibilities for initiating positive
change in society.
The half-day conference addressed the following questions:
- What need is there for arts advocacy in the current
political and economic environment?
- What challenges can artists and arts leaders expect
to face in the coming years?
- How can we prepare ourselves to meet and beat these
challenges?
