Congratulations to the inaugural Michael D. Eisner Arts and Culture Fellows!
Today, The Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN) in collaboration with the Aspen Institute Arts Program and Eisner Foundation introduced the first class of the Michael D. Eisner Arts and Culture Fellowship.
The 26 Fellows represent a dynamic cross-section of creative leadership—artists and performers, studio executives and gallery owners, filmmakers, musicians, playwrights, producers, and cultural entrepreneurs—brought together by a shared belief in the arts as a vital force for positive change in the world.
“Seventy-five years of the Aspen Institute has been, at its core, one sustained argument: that leaders who pause to examine their values change more than themselves. This Fellowship class makes that argument visceral. These are the people who decide which stories get told, which art gets made, and who gets to participate in culture at all—which means they’re also deciding, in ways both subtle and sweeping, how the rest of us understand the world we’re living in. Give them a room, a challenge, and each other. What comes out the other side reaches far beyond any stage or screen or gallery wall.” - Dar Vanderbeck, Vice President, Aspen Global Leadership Network, Aspen Institute.
