Comments on: Never Mind “What Do We Do Next?” What Do We Do FIRST? And Who’s Going to Fund It? http://blog.artsusa.org/2009/10/23/never-mind-%e2%80%9cwhat-do-we-do-next%e2%80%9d-what-do-we-do-first-and-who%e2%80%99s-going-to-fund-it/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:22:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lindsey Turner http://blog.artsusa.org/2009/10/23/never-mind-%e2%80%9cwhat-do-we-do-next%e2%80%9d-what-do-we-do-first-and-who%e2%80%99s-going-to-fund-it/comment-page-1/#comment-3664 Lindsey Turner Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:38:05 +0000 http://blog.artsusa.org/?p=3246#comment-3664 I think one of the great things about the 20Under40 project, and this blog specifically, is that it has brought out a lot of voices from many areas in the arts. Now, we need to look at each other and ask, "How can we work together?" What is the mission of your organization? What projects are you currently working on, both personally and professionally? What challenges are you facing? What solutions can you envision? What do you need to make that solution possible? Is there another voice you have "met" through this blog that might be able to help in some way? How can we pool resource to COLLABORATE (across disciplines, organizations, generations, etc), rather than arguing over resources? I think the first step is to share your voice--share your job, your career path thus far, your areas of expertise, your random hobbies, your secret dreams, your wacky ideas, etc... Once every voice is out there, we need to start looking for connections, overlaps, common themes, etc, in order to POOL OUR RESOURCES (both knowledge and capital) to work for actual changes.
