About The Emerging Leaders PRECONFERENCE

Change is happening all around us—in the way audiences are interacting with arts and culture, and how we as arts administrators are managing organizations to respond to the fluctuating needs of our communities. The 2013 Emerging Leaders Preconference will help participants learn to adapt at the individual level, so they can lead change in their communities. Preconference sessions will discuss change management theory, leadership practices, and provide participants with skills to work more effectively with their internal organizational staff and external partners, and move an individual, organizational, or community vision forward. 

The Emerging Leaders Preconference is generously supported by the Carnegie Mellon University Master of Arts Management Program

About the Public Art Network (PAN) PRECONFERENCE

The 2013 Public Art Network (PAN) Preconference is THE public art educational and networking opportunity of the year! Using local case-studies and breakout sessions, public art professionals will explore the intersection of public art engagement, evaluation, ethics, education, and more. Case study tours of Pittsburgh’s vibrant public art scene will illustrate important issues facing the field and will culminate in a PAN reception at the Mattress Factory—the internationally renowned installation art museum. Join us to dig deep into critical issue facing our field and be sure not to miss the opportunity to see how public art contributes to Pittsburgh being called America’s most livable city.
