On Friday, November 20, 2009, the National Endowment for the Arts is hosting a forum about America's artists and other cultural workers and the way that art works as part of this country's real economy. Academics, foundation professionals, and service organization representatives will come together to discuss improving the collection and reporting of statistics about arts and cultural workers, and to develop future research agendas and approaches.
The live webcast can be found here, where you will be able to view the complete event, from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. In addition, an archive of the event will be available here the week following the forum.
For the full schedule and list of participants, please see the NEA media advisory.
