Emerging Arts Leaders Symposium
(EALS) is an annual meeting for young professionals who work in the
arts—organized, executed, and run by American University (Washington,
DC) Arts Management students. It is an opportunity to discuss the
issues, unique or universal, that affect all arts organizations.
One of the goals of the 6th Annual Emerging Arts Leaders Symposium is
to address what is on the horizon for arts organizations and arts
professionals. And one of the recurring themes lately in the “future of the arts”
discussion is diversity in the arts, both diversity in art forms and
diversity in artists. So as I began searching for a keynote speaker for
EALS 2013, I wanted to find someone who could address this theme for our
emerging professionals.
Therefore, we at EALS are very proud to announce that the keynote speaker for the event is Aaron Dworkin, an arts leader widely known for his expertise and work in cultural and artistic diversity. Named a 2005 MacArthur Fellow, a former member of the Obama National
Arts Policy Committee, and President Obama’s first appointment to the
National Council on the Arts, Aaron P. Dworkin is the founder and
president of the Sphinx Organization,
the leading national arts organization that focuses on youth
development and diversity in classical music. An author, social
entrepreneur, artist-citizen, and an avid youth education advocate, he
has received extensive national recognition for his vast
accomplishments.
He has been featured on NBC’s Today Show and Nightly News with Brian Williams, CNN, NPR, and Anderson Cooper 360°, and well as in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Detroit News and Free Press, Washington Post, Chronicle of Philanthropy, and People Magazine. Dworkin has also been named one of Newsweek’s 15 People Who Make America Great.
He is the recipient of Harvard University’s Vosgerchian Teaching
Award, National Governors Association 2005 Distinguished Service to
State Government Award, Detroit Symphony’s 2007 Lifetime Achievement
Award, 2003 Michiganian of the Year, Crain’s 40 Under 40 and Who’s Who
Awards, BET’s History Makers in the Making Award, AT&T Excellence in
Education Award, and “Entrepreneur Of The Year” award by the National
Black MBA Association-Detroit Chapter.
