ArtsFwd Launches Google+ Hangout Dialogue Series

We kicked off the series with our first live video chat on Tuesday, June 12 with a conversation with our spring Blogging Fellows.

We are excited to announce the launch of ArtsFwd’s Google+ Hangout Dialogue Series.

The series kicked off on June 12 at 2:00PM ET, with a 30-minute online chat featuring our Blogging Fellows James Carter, Anna Prushinskaya, and Erinn Roos-Brown on the topic of “Why It Pays to Break Down Silos.” The chat explored three perspectives on the importance of working holistically with your staff, audience, and even scientists as you pursue adaptive change strategies in your organizations. 

How do I tune in?

The discussion streamed here at 2:00PM Eastern on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. A Google+ platform issue prevents us from archiving and sharing it here, but future live video dialogues will be archived and shared.

How do I participate?

Submit questions and comments on Twitter using the hashtag #FwdThinkers, on our Facebook, and in the comments section at the bottom of this post.

Why a dialogue series?

When ArtsFwd was conceived, our goal was twofold: 1) to produce great content and 2) to be a platform for authentic dialogue. For the last 18 months, we’ve put a lot of energy into creating better blog posts, compelling videos, DIY activities, and more to spark new thinking and support your work in your organizations.

Now, we’re turning our focus towards our second goal. This Google+ Hangout Dialogue Series is our first experiment in sharing the dynamic, complex discussions about innovation and adaptive change happening in the field through an accessible online space.

Every month we’ll invite several guests with different viewpoints to tackle a timely and provocative topic in moderated discussion. Our hope is to spark meaningful dialogue about what it takes to generate and implement adaptive change strategies and how we might accelerate the journey towards an arts and culture sector that recognizes this work as a new organization discipline.

What are your hot topics?

Let us know what big ideas and topics you’d like to see discussed and from whom you’d like to hear. This series is an opportunity for the ArtsFwd team to test out a new technology, platform and strategy to create meaning for you — arts and culture leaders committed to doing things differently in your organizations.
