The First National Performing Arts Convention

In 2004, the performing arts community will gather in Pittsburgh to affirm its shared history and values, to communicate its importance to national life, and to identify ways that, working together, arts leaders can bring the value of the arts to more people more effectively.

The First National Performing Arts Convention has the potential to lay the foundation for future cross-disciplinary collaborations, cooperative programs and effective advocacy and to demonstrate new maturity as a united sector dedicated to enriching national life and strengthening communities across the country. Join us in Pittsburgh June 8-13, 2004.
