Leadership happens at all levels throughout our sector - none is more amazing and courageous than by those in the beginning stages of their career. Having met hundreds of emerging leaders through Americans for the Arts, I am convinced the arts and cultural landscape will remain vibrant and relevant for years to come. Our future is bright. There is no leadership gap.
We know there are unsung young leaders in our midst. The radical act of leadership is claiming it for yourself or making it happen for someone else. Brilliance abounds – let’s celebrate for all our benefit.
Nominations for the Emerging Leader Award, and all Awards of Americans for the Arts, close Friday, February 15.
