Arts leaders under 40 – sound off!
I have spent the last few weeks writing, researching and editing a chapter proposal in advance of an Aug. 31 deadline for a writing contest about the future of arts in America. From the Call for Entries:
20UNDER40 is in search of essays demonstrating the most innovative and unique perspectives on the future of the arts and arts education from artists, teaching artists, researchers, administrators, and cultural activists under the age of forty.
This anthology will provide a unique arena for new ideas by formally gathering the thoughts of young artists, teaching artists, administrators, researchers, and other arts and arts education professionals—legitimizing the talent of young leaders by bringing their ideas out of the margins and into the forefront of our dialogue.
If you are interested in submitting something, I encourage you to move quickly as the deadline is now less than a week away. All you need to submit is a two page proposal (double spaced – yikes!)Â outlining a need/problem that you see as a big deal and your proposed response/solution. Full details are here.
