I’m on my way to American University to take in this event:
On September 20, 2012, the National Endowment for the Arts releases a new report, based on research commissioned from the Monitor Institute, entitled How Art Works. Built upon a wide-ranging literature review, and extensive interviews, workshops, webinars, and exchanges with arts leaders, community leaders, thought leaders, and policy makers around the country, the report suggests a framework and a “system map” to guide research, policy, and strategy for the agency. This public forum, hosted by the Arts Management program at American University, seeks to explore this new report, its implications for the NEA’s strategy and research, and its resonance or potential for the larger fields of arts, culture, heritage, and humanities.
The forum, which takes place from 2:00-5:30 PM Eastern time today, will be livecast on the web here. You can also follow along with the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #HowArtWorks.
