Gigi Antoni, president & CEO of Big Thought, and Ken Cole, associate director of the National Guild, are hitting the road to provide an interactive exploration of how arts organizations in communities across America are increasing access to, multiplying the benefits of, and sustaining quality arts education through large-scale, cross-sector collaborations. Learn how these organizations are making arts instruction a civic priority while keeping young people and creative arts learning at the center!

Next they'll be heading to the Americans for the Arts Annual Convention (June 14 in Pittsburgh). Their presentation is based on the book, More Than the Sum of Its Parts: Collaboration & Sustainability in Arts Education, co-authored by Thomas Wolf and Gigi Antoni, which is available for download, free of charge, on on our website.
