Six years ago I was talking with my friend and colleague, Dr. Arlene Shrut, and asked her to tell me what exciting things she had been doing. Wow. Many people are passionate about their fields, but not all have the commitment and energy to work so tirelessly to improve them. I've been a Board Member since that time, and it continues to amaze me how consistently the reactions of both audiences and participants confirm that New Triad's drive to connect art, artist, and audience in the 21st century is exactly on point.
