This session will explore the intersection of art, science, and technology, focusing on the calculated risks required to produce large-scale, interdisciplinary projects. From navigating the complexities of virtual reality (XR) to fostering deep community connections through accessible education, Bryan and Jennifer will discuss how "the infinite" serves as both a theme and a mandate for the future of cultural institutions.

A candid conversation on the importance of taking creative risks to engage diverse, multi-generational audiences.
A look at what’s next in the world of arts presenting.
Come ready to think big about what’s new, what’s next, and how we can all reach for the next frontier in our creative work.
