Opening Plenary - Arts Funding Today: Investing for Social Impact

As investing in social impact issues increasingly becomes a priority for foundations and corporations, what does that mean for arts organizations? In this special plenary conversation, Kai Ryssdal, host of public radio’s Marketplace, interviews Mara Walker of Americans for the Arts and Eddie Torres of Grantmakers in the Arts about the state of funding today. They will share insight into how organizations can make an effective case for support and leverage this new focus to create positive change in their communities.
