Description:
The Blacksburg Library and the Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents "Power and Practice of Art and Culture in Healthy Communities" Part 2 on Thursday, March 21, 2024 offered both in-person and on Zoom.

Harold Steward will offer cultural strategies that have been shaped and refined over an already substantial career in the arts as an effective producer, community builder, and national thought leader. As the recently appointed executive director of one of the nation’s leading arts funding organizations, the New England Foundation for the Arts, Harold will bring a critically important perspective as we all engage with the highly impactful consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social upheavals shaping our daily lives.

The School of Performing Arts at Virginia Tech presents "The Power and Practice of Art in Healthy Communities", a series of talks by nationally recognized artists and thought leaders on the power and practice of art and culture as essential elements of healthy communities. These public presentations are meant to lead to open dialogue on the practical values of art as a core element for building strong communities.

Admission is free though registration is required.
