We need to be discussing new visions for our country, our communities, and the roles that arts, culture, artists, and creative workers can play. Who better to drive forward this crucial conversation than our opening keynote speaker, Marc Morial? In this inspiring opening, hear Mr. Morial, President of the National Urban League, presents his thoughts on what artists and arts organizations need to be doing right now as we look to transform the country—and the connection of those who live here to their full creative lives—into the equitable vision we dream it can be. Plus, hear more about the current work of the National Endowment for the Arts from NEA Acting Chairman, Mary Anne Carter.
