The fourth annual Oregon Arts Summit on October 12, 2012 offered a frame for attendees’ exploration of leadership “lessons learned”. Summit ideas reverberated across the state and beyond, courtesy of the Summit's grad student tweeting reporters from University of Oregon's Arts Administration Department. The stimulating stories told by national and Oregon presenters are now available on the Oregon Arts Commission website.
Each of the day’s sessions is available, including a 250-second “day in review” video, a keynote by Eric Booth, and presentations by Max Williams, Dr. Rudy Crew, Dan Wieden, Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici and all 12 Pecha Kucha presenters. Shot by Oregon Convention Center video crew and edited by The Canoe Group and Cam Williams, the videos will be permanently archived on our site.

Did you know that more than 1,300 arts, heritage, and humanities non-profits produce and protect cultural activities on behalf of Oregonians? Now, for the first time, those activities are being catalogued in one place. Visit OregonCultureFieldGuide.org for more information.
The site includes a series of informational videos showcases Cultural Trust-funded attractions in the seven regions of Oregon. Original portraits by photographer Holly Andres include subjects such as author Cheryl Strayed, wine industry pioneer Susan Sokol Blosser, advertising guru Dan Wieden, and Grammy-winning musician Esperanza Spalding. The site is accepting nominations to build its debut selection of featured activities and anyone can participate. Users give a “thumbs up” to their favorites, and a live tally of “Trending Activities” displays the most popular.
Your personal leadership, your work within institutions, and the responsibility we all share for leadership within our community… I hope you discover kinds of leadership that you didn’t know you had… and get back to where the impulse for the arts came from, that original place.
