There are no crises in the arts - there are crises in arts organizations as they are currently constructed. Audiences are not shrinking, they are growing, but they are not necessarily interested in consuming all the art our member organizations produce. Between 1970 and 2010, the number of arts organizations grew from 2,700 to 27,000 but the number of people funding them, and attending their events, did not grow at all.

In a keynote address, Russell Willis Taylor, president and CEO, National Arts Strategies, will explore the extraordinary opportunities that arts organizations have today.
