Most currently dont. Scene change is a phrase tied to the arts when discussing a literal change from one scene in a play to another, eliciting a new time, place, and situation. Here, however, it refers to actions made at this pivotal moment within the entire sector, where the rules that went into play over half a century ago can no longer apply for the arts to serve their nonprofit purpose. That charitable purpose -- to help those who need the help -- cannot exist in an environment of privilege, exclusivity, and the subjective concept of excellence. Excellence does not put food on a hungry persons table, if they even have a table. In his brilliantly unpretentious, snarky, and hilarious style, Alan Harrison pulls no punches. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972479385888,"sku":"NEW1803414464","price":23.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/scene-change-why-todays-nonprofit-arts-organizations-have-to-stop-producing-art-and-start-producing-impact-1803414464","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
