I had the profound pleasure of hearing Michael Kaiser speak yesterday at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council Year in Review, at the August Wilson Center. He speaks the language of possibility and transformation. He turned the paradigm for arts management on its ear. You could hear the audience’s brains buzzing in the room, and the sense of relief, coupled with inspiration when people began to shift their vision away from “business as usual” and towards reinvention during the course of the conversation.
In case you missed him, or want more Kaiser Juice, here’s a video series of his online:

On this page, you will also find links to his blog and a great tour (Google) map of his 50 state tour, assisting and coaching people working in the arts.
