Ah, but poor artists cannot afford a $75 entrance fee! Darn it!
All I can do is longingly speculate about the day's agenda. It looks like a fairly predictable rig-a-ma-roll (sp?) of non-profit hot topics, but nonetheless - a dedicated Coffee and Conversation hour stirs a great deal of longing in my currently unemployed, arts administrator heart. Some groups and speakers of particular note:
EmcArts, based in New York - according to their website, "a nonprofit intermediary for many arts funders, and as a service organization for the arts field around innovation". But if you click on their Portfolio link, you get a whole lot of nothing. Double darn it!
An Audience Development Manifesto presented by an OSF guy!
Doug McLennan of ArtJournal! A full-fledged dork, I've subscribed for four years, and so Mr. McLennan is a bit of a rock star for me. I can't belieeeeeve he's in my local convention center, right now!!!!!!
Caldera. Can someone please tell me how to get a job here? It seems reserved for only those transcendent few.
The Portland Art Museum, talking about Object Stories. I love the OS concept and website execution. Sigh.
Oregon Ballet Theater, talkin' 'bout boards.
Hands On Portland talkin' 'bout volunteers.
A speaker from the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, which is a weird coincidence in that this center is located on a rural road outside of Lincoln City, which I JUST happened to walk by on Monday, as I hiked the Cascade Head trail.
