TN to host group viewings for NASAA Webinar
From Grace Robinson, Public Information and Research Coordinator –
The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) is hosting a web seminar – Engaging Millennials: Creating Young Arts Advocates – on August 19, 2015, to discuss engaging in the arts the largest generation since the baby boomers. Millennials, now young adults ages 18-35, are important to have as arts participants and advocates as they are fully involved in today’s technological revolution and are tomorrow’s emerging leaders.
The webinar will provide an overview of millennial participation trends, and discuss strategies and programs that have successfully resulted in the inspiration and empowerment of this generation. To manage costs and keep these sessions free for state arts agencies, NASAA places some limits on participation by others. Therefore, it is only available at four locations in Tennessee, but the Tennessee Arts Commission will publish a report on the webinar.
The Tennessee Arts Commission invites you to join one of the four groups across the state from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. CDT / 3-4 p.m. EST on Wednesday, August 19 for the seminar. Acting as partner participants in Tennessee are:
