Dear Friends: I am so lucky to be joining your community as <strong>the</strong> new executive director of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flynn</strong>. I have long admired <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flynn</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> vibrancy of its multidisciplinary presentations, expansive education and outreach programs, and support <strong>for</strong> local and regional artists. This season is a truly wonderful array of iconic figures in dance, <strong>the</strong>ater, and music, a cornucopia of culturally specific events, fun-filled family and holiday programs, and of course Broadway and a few pop sensations. All of this is not possible without a very dedicated staff and <strong>the</strong> extraordinary support of members, trustees, donors, volunteers, government, foundation, and corporate funding partners, and you, our audience. The <strong>Flynn</strong> serves annually nearly 200,000 community members through our events and programs. Education programs will again reach more than 40,000 students state-wide through our Student Matinees, as well as year-round classes, workshops, and summer camps. In <strong>the</strong> live per<strong>for</strong>ming arts, we come toge<strong>the</strong>r to share, witness, and celebrate. The role artists play in creating metaphor, defining space (real and imagined), commemorating losses and victories, and articulating <strong>the</strong> unconscious is profound. Artists and arts organizations often create a safe space <strong>for</strong> unsafe ideas—a very necessary role in our profane world. The arts’ intellectual, creative, and social capital contributions can never be underestimated. There can be no creative economy without <strong>the</strong> arts. Children often find <strong>the</strong>ir first voice through cultural expression. I know I did. Growing up in Chicago, a school matinee per<strong>for</strong>mance of <strong>the</strong> Alvin Ailey Company changed <strong>the</strong> course of my life and is truly <strong>the</strong> reason I am here Paper at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flynn</strong> today. But you know all of this, as I am preaching to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Flynn</strong> Recycled audience choir.
