Announcing GIA's 2012 Web Conference Series

Submitted by Abigail on February 2, 2012

New on the GIA website: The 2012 Web Conference Series schedule. This year's lineup of arts philanthropy leaders and innovators will address key topics of interest to arts grantmakers, including arts and health, arts journalism, and GIA's new Arts Education Funders' Coalition. Read about the presentations and register here. As always, all Web Conferences are free to GIA members.

Registration is still open for the inaugural Web Conference on February 7, Demographics, Equity, and the Arts. Manuel Pastor's reprisal of his crowd-pleasing 2011 Conference keynote in San Francisco will be revised and updated to include non-California-specific data. This is an opportunity for GIA members who did not attend the 2011 Conference to see this exciting, informative presentation. A Q&A session will follow.

The most inspirational part [of the 2011 GIA Conference] was a surprise to me because it's not a grantmaking-specific topic. It was the presentation on demographic change by Manuel Pastor; I found him dynamic, the content interesting, and the overall talk inspirational. - GIA member feedback
