"Allowing the Wisdom of Art to Change the World"
by Skye Burn
Humanity is facing situations that require new ways of thinking, fresh insight, and imagination. The challenges of climate change, terrorism, pollution, religious strife, and economic instability are not entirely amenable to political, economic, legal, and military solutions. The world needs creative solutions.
Until now, world leaders have not called on artists to help them figure out how to handle situations that arise in their organizations and communities. They have called on economic, political, military, and legal advisers, but the expertise and wisdom of art has generally been considered irrelevant to solving 'real world' problems.
The Flow Project is allowing artists to be recognized for the practical value of their knowledge and experience. Within the structure of The Project and with staff support, artists are reflecting on their own experience and identifying principles of art and artistic practices common to the artistic experience across mediums. Well-positioned allies in the field of leadership education are helping the artists focus and they have agreed to translate the principles of art into principles of leadership and leadership practices. Put simply, The Flow Project brings the wisdom of art to leaders by providing art-based principles and practices they can apply in creating businesses, organizations, and communities.
BizArt is an annual conference designed to help artists of all disciplines develop the business acumen they need to become successful entrepreneurs in todays economy.
