Nonprofit arts organizations have to place nonprofit ahead of
arts in order to thrive in these pre-post-pandemic days. Most
currently don’t. Scene change is a phrase tied to the arts when
discussing a literal change from one scene in a play to another,
eliciting a new time, place, and situation. Here, however, it
refers to actions made at this pivotal moment within the entire
sector, where the rules that went into play over half a century ago
can no longer apply for the arts to serve their nonprofit purpose.
That charitable purpose --Â to help those who need the help
--Â cannot exist in an environment of privilege, exclusivity,
and the subjective concept of excellence. Excellence does not put
food on a hungry person’s table, if they even have a table. In
his brilliantly unpretentious, snarky, and hilarious style, Alan
Harrison pulls no punches. He identifies and addresses elitism,
defines and defuses toxicity, and provides outlines for success,
including a hopeful prediction for the future. This book also
provides context for the pinball journeys of a 30-year adventure,
leading nonprofit arts organizations in America --Â warts and
all.
