Americans for the Arts is pleased to continue our work in engaging the motivated minds of those arts professionals age 35 and under or with limited experience working in the arts. Throughout the convention, these emerging leaders will meet with seasoned professionals as well as their peers to advance their skills in and knowledge of the field. By working together, we can cultivate the next generation of arts leaders in America.

Emerging leader grassroots organizer Colleen Fischer of Fresh Arts Coalition in Houston, TX, has put together an informal Emerging Leaders Day to provide other emerging leaders arriving early for the annual convention an opportunity to get together to explore Milwaukee and network on June 2, 2006. Contact Colleen for more information, or meet the group in the Miller Time Pub (located inside the Hilton Milwaukee City Center) anytime between 12:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. for some emerging leader creative conversations and networking. No host lunch, Dutch treat drinks, good time fun.
Connect with the national Emerging Leader Network to discuss how your communities are changing. Join this conversation Saturday afternoon, 2:15 p.m.–3:30 p.m. On Monday morning, 8:30 a.m.–10:30 a.m., we'll meet again to discuss upcoming activities for emerging leaders and talk about your convention experiences.
Emerging leaders that attend are eligible to receive $50 off their convention registration. (A discounted emerging leader registration must be paid by a sponsoring organization to qualify for the discount. Only one discount per organization. The emerging leader discount is not applicable to scholarship or special offer recipients, or preconference only and team registrants.)

Mix and mingle with fellow emerging leaders at Yaffa Restaurant & Lounge, a beautiful Mediterranean experience right on the river in Milwaukee. Emerging leaders will love the plush décor, mouth-watering signature martini menu, and the location––within walking distance from the hotel, with an outside patio along the RiverWalk. Appetizers will be abundant, martinis and other beverages will flow at the cash bar, and networking with old friends and new colleagues will be optimal at this emerging Americans for the Arts tradition.
