Connecting the Dots

What does the world need right now?

And what am I really good at that can help with that need?

More importantly, how do the answers to those questions help you in your day-to-day life and work?

Tessitura Network President Andrew Recinos explores the answers that he's found in visits with cultural organizations around the world. These organizations' inspiring stories have another purpose: sharing the joy of our work in arts and culture can provide an antidote to the stress of the world we live in. Help keep that momentum by sharing your own moment on social media with the hashtag #sharetheculture. 

Andrew delivered this talk to more than 1,800 attendees from over 300 arts and cultural organizations at the 2018 Tessitura Learning and Community Conference in Orlando in July 2018. The same day he launched his new blog, “The Culturephiles.”
