Tom to Offer Workshop on "Artists As Leaders" at 2008 Performing Arts Convention

Over 5,000 leaders from America's performing arts community will be gathering in Denver this June for the 2008 National Performing Arts Convention. Chorus America, Dance/USA, Early Music America, the League of American Orchestras, OPERA America and the Theatre Communications Group are the principle conveners. Tom will be doing his workshop on Friday, June 13. This workshop lays out the argument for creativity as a national value and makes the case that artists, cultural workers and creative professionals have values and skills desperately needed in public life.
