From today until May 11, the Emerging Leaders Council in curating a blog salon entitled “Using Our Power to Make Change Through the Arts.” We have asked artists and arts administrators of color from around the country to respond to this prompt. Through their blog posts, the authors will share stories, visions, and philosophies of people working towards change in the arts and its leadership -- exploring what power they have to create change.

On your next coffee/tea break, take five minutes to read our first posts of the blog salon - and please feel free to comment on these blog posts and share them on social media! We want your voice in this conversation.
