<P class=ecxMsoNormal><FONT face=Arial>The Australia Council for the Arts is now encouraging arts organizations to assess their own artistic vibrancy, even promoting a standard Artistic Reflection Tool Kit. What exactly is “artistic vibrancy”? Can artistic vibrancy be measured, and if so, how? Why should or shouldn’t we try to measure it, and should funding be dependent on it? What might Cleveland arts organizations gain from this exercise? Join Cleveland Young Arts Professionals Network for this stimulating conversation! </FONT></P>
