Judilee Reed, Leveraging Investments in Creativity 

Judilee Reed, Executive Director of Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC), will be speaking the evening of November 4, 2010. LINC (http://www.lincnet.net/) is a ten-year national initiative to improve the conditions for artists working in all disciplines. Launched in July 2003, LINC seeks to assist the people, organizations, and communities already at work in supporting artists, and to address needs not being served. Efforts include funding community-wide strategies to improve conditions for artists; building online information concerning live-work spaces and health insurance for artists; and working with field leaders to advance knowledge and best practices. Join us to hear Ms. Reed explain how national trends connect to what's happening in Austin now.
