sometimes you have to be the one to tell yourself no in regards to a project you’d really like to pursue. The artist in you wants to move forward at all costs, as he sees the benefit to the program. The administrator, however, is the one responsible for the money or the time or the facilities or all of the above, and often has to play the realist to the artist’s dreamer role. It’s tough to manage, and I’d love to hear how my colleagues make it work in their situations.
I think the visit to the American Visionary Art Museum was certainly a highlight of the conference, and I’d like to encourage Americans for the Arts to seek out cities with venues such as this for future conferences. I am always encouraged by examples of those in our field that are making bold, successful statements. I think it’s important, at conferences such as these, to make sure that there is a direct connection with art itself
