Description:

How do we remain relevant when communities change? Join Salvador Acevedo, president of Contemporánea, for an overview of the latest trends in multicultural, multiethnic audience engagement in the arts. Salvador will focus on the necessary organizational and outreach changes associated with current demographic shifts (as highlighted by the 2010 census) and will discuss specific strategies for developing engagement initiatives that consider not only the characteristics of a target population, but also the changes within your organization that facilitate implementation.
