Morning Plenary. Art in Times Like These: Why We Do What We Do

Start Time: 
9:00 am, Sat (Aug 29)
In the midst of a deep economic recession, arts and media organizations around the country are tightening their belts and struggling to survive these challenging times.  And yet it’s during times like these when our work in the arts becomes even more critical.  It is our ideas, energy, and spirit that provide joy and hope when so many are struggling.  It is our inspiration and creativity that leads our communities to imagine and achieve a different world.  Join us for a soul-stirring reminder about the power of art, and a dose of encouragement for doing what we do.
