Convention Overview
Being a leader in the arts today requires more than just good skills. You need to have integrity, creativity, a commitment to service, a desire to integrate diverse voices into your work, and a calling to bring the next generation of arts leaders along with you on your journey. Today’s arts leader must continue to overcome funding challenges while remaining engaged in and committed to improving our nation’s communities through the arts. This year’s convention will explore ways to persevere in times of crisis and learn new techniques for achieving our strategic goals.
If you are an arts administrator, board member, educator, artist, funder, public official, or advocate devoted to using the arts as a community-building tool, then this is the one meeting you must attend this year! Come to Portland, Oregon, America’s Rose City, to learn about fresh approaches to your work from today’s dynamic voices. Portland is one of America's "Top 25 Arts Destinations" (AmericanStyle magazine) and we can’t think of a better place to be revitalized, refocused, and recharged.
