Instead of sales goals I would have rejection goals. If I didn't get rejected enough, I wasn't trying.

Creativity and the Arts are Here to Stay


October 8, 2012

The one thing that has overwhelmed me, in a good way, in my job search is discovering other art organizations across the country I did not know existed. Discovering new art museums, performing art centers, and various other art organizations is a testimony to the transforming power of arts and creativity. The arts will never fade to the side – no matter what happens in the world. As human beings, we express ourselves from our deepest center, and that expression naturally comes through creativity and the arts. Creativity is a part of our humanity. Whether we are being creative on the stage, through a painting, or behind the scenes of running an art organization, creativity comes naturally and is vital to our existence. Wherever you find yourself, look around you and explore the creativity and art. It's here to stay.
