Creative Conversations Part II: Advocacy in a Changing Market

Seattle, WA
As arts programming evolves in the Puget Sound region, arts advocacy takes on new meanings. “Advocacy in a Changing Market,” Part II of the Emerging Arts Leaders Creative Conversations series, will explore the issues of arts advocacy on a legislative, community building, and personal/professional level. The event will kick off with the insights of panelists Gretchen Johnston (Washington State Arts Alliance), Denee McCloud (Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas), Richard Andrews (Henry Art Gallery) and James Keblas (Office of Film and Music), and will open up to a moderated forum for response and group discussion.
The Creative Conversations are a collaborative initiative organized by emerging arts leaders for emerging arts leaders. The events provide opportunities for emerging arts leaders to engage with the professionals that have helped build the foundation for arts in Seattle. Moderators at each forum help initiate and guide successful dialogue.
The conversations are being recorded by the documentary team, Nonfiction Media. Their “docuportrait” will bring the Creative Conversations series to a wider audience of arts leaders at a public meeting in October 2007 (Arts & Humanities Month).
