UO Emerging Leaders in the Arts just ventured to Seattle! The annual ELAN ArtsVenture professional development trip gave students the opportunity to meet and learn from practitioners, and experience the arts and culture of Seattle. Eleven emerging arts leaders toured the Seattle Art Museum, met with Lara Davis, Arts Education Manager for the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, and with Laurie de Koch, co-founder and executive director of JazzED. They experienced the Seattle Repertory Theatre, met with other AAD alumni, and much more during an eventful weekend in the “Emerald City.”
