Join NYTE for the second and final Generations event of the 2010 season! The Generations Project will once again bring together artists and leaders, across generations, for this forum on vision, leadership and mentorship in the arts. Bring a friend, invite a mentor, and join the dialogue, as we continue to discuss the future of our art form and our role in moving it forward.

Along with our guests Annie Baker, Michael Mayer and Denis O’Hare, we will be exploring the experience of the individual artist -- how, despite uncertainty, ambiguity and doubt, an artist can cultivate a sense of sustained inspiration, not just for him/herself, but as part of a larger creative community.
