Meet the author of Scene Change - Alan Harrison on February 3rd - 2 pm @ BookTree

Please share our Facebook Event Page with one and all. Thank YOU!

With his new book, Alan Harrison tosses a virtual brick through the window of the nonprofit arts sector, where elitism and social failure have doomed it to near-irrelevance – and offers real techniques to glaze a stronger window for the sector so that it can achieve the kind of impact that will make itself indispensable to its communities — today, tomorrow, and in years to come.

SCENE CHANGE: Why Today’s Nonprofit Arts Organizations Have to Stop Producing Art and Start Producing Impact --focuses on ways in which the nonprofit arts sector in America can reverse its steep decline and become essential to their communities in 2024 and beyond.

He identifies and addresses elitism, defines and defuses toxicity, and provides outlines for success, including a hopeful prediction for the future. This book also provides context for the pinball journeys of a 30-year adventure, leading nonprofit arts organizations in America --warts and all.
