Every October, in honor of National Arts & Humanities Month, Americans for the Arts partners with emerging leaders (ie young people) from across the country to host Creative Conversations. Last year, more than 1,000 emerging arts leaders participated in 41 locally hosted Creative Conversations throughout the country, and those leaders continue to be engaged at the national level.
"Whether you're facing a shortage of young leaders in the arts or a bumper crop, our future depends less on quantity than on ensuring that we effectively transfer knowledge and provide opportunities for trial, error, and experimentation. Young leaders need the voice, intuition, skills, and strategies to undertake this complex and life-fulfilling line of work."Orlando does not have a Creative Conversations meeting scheduled for October.
