Summer greetings (but not for long)!

It’s hard to believe we are already nine months into the year and that the fall is upon us. We hope you’re all having a great year of successful shows. For us, 2013 is flying by, and we have many exciting new things to share!

Announcing Arts Festival Conference Keynote Speaker: Margy Waller
We are pleased to announce that Margy Waller, a senior fellow at Topos Partnership, will kick off the fifth annual Arts Festival Conference. Waller has received a host of accolades, including being named one of the nation’s 25 most “powerful and influential” nonprofit arts leaders by arts blogger Barry Hessenius, “Top Ten Tweeter” by SoapboxMedia, and “Rising Civic Star” by Cincy Magazine. An advocate for creating community through the arts—having even worked in the White House—Waller’s background is a synthesis of arts administration and cultural policy.
