The New Responsible Look of ArtsLine!!

As the new Graduate Assistant, I’d like to welcome you to the new GREEN issues of ArtsLine!

This 1st issue will focus on the idea of Agility and Ability! Articles and interviews will spotlight these skills in leading change across the art and culture sector. As the topic of a possible art tax opened our fall quarter, students attended a Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance meeting involving executives representing organizations from across the city and learned what needs to happen in order to maintain survival. It was evident that organizations have to think outside the box. Recruitment, involvement and interest in untouched communities, programming, and outreach are all great ideas to consider. However, the idea of being open to practice those concepts means that people involved behind the scenes of these organizations have to be open and ready to change themselves.

Agility and ability are skills I feel will jumpstart this wave of new thinking and the articles throughout this issue reflect possible examples in how organizations can evolve.  As the art and culture sector continues to grow everyday with new people involved and organizations that come into existence. It’s important for fresh ideas and practices to be shared so that survival is collective amongst the sector in order to maintain and create more options for the audiences we serve.

ArtsLine takes a look at different organizations and how they are approaching evolution within their organizations. This is only the beginning, so continue to update yourself with content on the blog as a new issue appears every quarter!

Enjoy the new look and feel of ArtsLine.

Thanks!
