Chalk up my vote for 2011’s “Best Debut Artist” and “Best Supporting Actor.”. In this sound bite culture, social justice organizations must carve out nuanced positions on complex social issues, from racial and gender equity to immigration reform. Can justice roll down like waters, propelled by viral?

But this month, it's as if there was a subliminal email sent to a crew of bloggers in the arts suggesting a salon about audience diversity, and how/why to move in that direction. Where do you fall in this conversation, and what resources have pushed your thinking about diversity? The posts are meaty and the commenting is robust.

Although fundraising for arts organizations has unique challenges—like justifying the need to ask for support from donors for your arts and culture versus donating to the efforts of front-line workers—art in all forms is something that every community needs. This may be some of your lead performers, popular visual artists, or directors.
