Today’s arts leaders have progressed from finding a place at the table to actually calling key decision-makers to sit together. Join Americans for the Arts Convention 2005 in Austin, TX, to share experiences and stories of successful arts partnerships, while engaging in educational sessions based on leading collaborations that will drive your organization to the next level. Participants at Convention 2005 may choose from a wide array of learning experiences, including educational workshops, interactive arts-based civic engagement activities, conversations with inspiring individuals through the Innovator Series, and facilitated dialogues. Of course, there will be plenty of time to network with new colleagues and old friends during special events, peer group meetings, and neighborhood tours of Austin and surrounding Texas cities.
