THE ARTS & IDEAS

If a major shift in worldview is taking place, what role active might society’s arts and cultural resources (artists, arts institutions, and cultural creative’s) play?  Interviews posing these questions show how people in the field of art and philanthropy are thinking differently, and equally important, they show how leaders outside our field are thinking about arts and culture differently and asking tough questions that we all should ponder.

THE ARTS & COMMUNITY

Bill Cleveland has crafted a work of art in this book. Not an object that that you hang on a wall of place on a shelf, but a piece of process art that you can take into the streets and use to change the way people live their lives... Art in Other Places reminds me of why I am in the arts.

Robert Lynch, President and CEO, Americans for the Arts.
