Green Papers are short, easy to read, visions of the future meant to
inspire a nationwide dialogue on the future of the arts. As a way to
celebrate the successes of the past 50 years in the arts field, Americans
for the Arts has collected Green Papers from a variety of national arts
service organizations and peer groups representing different perspectives
and disciplines. Participate in one or more conversation topics by using
the comment section below or visiting a Green Paper category to the right.

Green Papers are a chance for anyone
who cares about the arts to talk about a particular discipline or interest
area in a facilitated, open forum. Each participating organization who
authored a Green Paper also selected an emerging leader Ambassador to
facilitate discussion about the related Paper. Ambassadors will continue
this dialogue throughout the year--capturing and synthesizing the ideas,
changes, and themes that arise from online discussions. Ambassadors will
be led by a group facilitator, Eric Booth. At the end of the year, new
Green Papers will emerge that will reflect the overarching changes and
ideas proposed through this democratic forum process.
