Leaders of arts organizations in the Appalachian regions of Ohio and Kentucky join OSU researchers whose work focuses on Appalachian issues to discuss the nature of arts administration and entrepreneurship in the region. Arts Administrators will share their experiences of leading organizations and researchers will provide insight into the cultural, socioeconomic and policy issues affecting Appalachia. This conservation will serve as a bridge-building exercise between the two fields.
Speakers: Anne Stephens, Director of the John P. Stephens Cultural Arts Center in Kentucky, Ben Fink, Creative Placemaking Project Manager, Appalshop, Inc., Kentucky, Dr. Cassie Patterson, Assistant Director of the OSU Center for Folklore Studies, and Dr. Christine Ballengee Morris, Professor in Arts Administration, Education and Policy and Founding Director of the Multicultural Center at OSU.
