Program
Los Angeles is poised on the threshold of a new era in the arts – with new leadership and ambitious growth at its major arts institutions, the creation of an architecturally significant cultural district, a flourishing of artistic vitality, and an incomparably diverse population of consumers. Given Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's recently-announced plans to update the City's decades-old Master Cultural Plan, the time is ripe for a purposeful conversation about the future of arts in Los Angeles. What are the challenges? What are the opportunities? How can Los Angeles' diverse arts players come together to create a unifying vision that makes the most of the city's cultural assets?
Featured Speakers

Featured speakers include:
- Michael Govan, Director and CEO, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
