Widespread cuts to arts education over the past decade now mean we have an entire generation of young people with little exposure to the arts. Fewer members of the millennial generation go to the theater, concerts, dance performances, or operas. How can we, as funders and providers, encourage today’s 20-somethings to become the future audiences, donors, volunteers, and leaders that arts groups need to survive?
Join us for a discussion that will look at ways to engage millennial audiences and how we can address this challenge.
