Join us for the latest Company of Young Professionals Leadership Series where local leaders share unique stories from a wide variety of fascinating industries.
This upcoming Leadership Series will explore the business of art and culture. How do galleries fund their operations? How do they select which artists to feature? What role do they play in promoting culture within major cities and why are they important?
