Are you prepared for the new arts landscape—The New Normal?
This June, join more than 1,100 arts and community leaders from across the nation to learn how your organization can adapt to the shifting economic climate, changing demographics, and prepare your community for the future.
San Antonio is the ideal backdrop to experience how arts and culture can shape a community. From the city’s River Walk and historic museums to its ethnic diversity, you will see how the artistic practices and traditions of the past can merge with—and help redefine—the present and future.
Dig deeper with colleagues during one of our focused preconferences, the Public Art Network Preconference or the Emerging Leaders Preconference, sponsored by American Express, June 7–8.
Luis A. Ubiñas leads the Ford Foundation, which awards $500 million in annual giving, making it the second-largest philanthropic organization in the United States. Since becoming president in 2008, Ubiñas has focused Ford’s grantmaking on increasing the participation of poor and marginalized individuals and communities in the economic, social, and political opportunities afforded by their society. That effort is being enhanced by exploring how new technology and social media can reshape the way nonprofits deliver results for those they serve.
Prior to joining the Ford Foundation, Ubiñas was a director at McKinsey & Company, where he helped technology and media companies leverage the opportunities and challenges presented by the growth of Internet and wireless technologies. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and serves on the U.S. Advisory Committee on Trade Policy and Negotiation.
Americans for the Arts and the vibrant city of San Antonio warmly welcome Mr. Ubiñas as our 2012 Annual Convention Opening Keynote.
ON A TIGHT BUDGET? Americans for the Arts is offering a limited number of scholarships to arts leaders nationwide to assist them in travel, housing, and participation in the 2012 Americans for the Arts Annual Convention.
Our scholarships will provide assistance to attend the convention for enlightening professional development, valuable networking opportunities, and to swap strategies for success with peers.
