"Be civically engaged. Make your voice heard. If you care about arts issues, even better." --> arts advocacy as civic advocacy #AFTACON

To @sofiaklatzker's "we are the choir" analogy I would add - think about how to welcome NEW ppl, even if they've never sung before #AFTACON

So proud to see Laura Zucker honored at #AFTACON for her fierce advocacy & "walking the walk" at @LACountyArts

Between giving us the fabulous Exploratorium reception & hearing from @NancyPelosi, San Francisco is an amazing #AFTACON host. THANK YOU!

Public service is a way of connecting responsibilities nurtured through faith, family, cultural background and more - @NancyPelosi #AFTACON

Budgets aren't just numbers on a page... they are "statement of shared value." @NancyPelosi #AFTACON

#AFTACON keynote: @NancyPelosi, after having 5 children within 6 years, began to understand first-hand how children thrive in the arts.

As divided as we may be, @NancyPelosi reminds us we are all resources to each other at some point. #AFTACON

Always a good start to a Sunday morning session on social impact when it starts with singing 🎼🎤#aftacon

When a Sunday morning session on arts & social impact overflows its small room, you know this conversation is only just beginning #AFTACON

Another tidbit from Arts Midwest- ppl care about creativity when they get older- IF they were encouraged to be creative as kids #AFTACON

Overheard at arts & social impact panel - "Choosing proximity to injustice is not relinquishing artistic excellence." YES. #AFTACON

Much of the art & social impact convo reminds me of product/process shifts in #artsed #AFTACON

#AFTACON panel includes call for central place where research on arts & social impact is summarized & linked to messaging tools Createquity.

I always get leery when we call for more data without considering how we can become better critical consumers of that data. #AFTACON

"21st century is not about excellence, it's about relevance." #AFTACON

Tickled that video for AFTA 2018 in Denver notes "chefs and brewers are artists too." Creativity isn't confined to dance/music/etc #AFTACON

❤️ that both @NancyPelosi and #RhodessiaJones brought their granddaughters to their #AFTACON keynote sessions. What a gift to those girls.
