Courtesy of
From the directorrsquos desk The post-it note that was placed on my desk requested ldquocurrent thought from our fearless leader for 2012rdquo Most days I can muster fearless and some days I can adopt the mantle of leader however consistent fearless leader might be a stretch I like the quote by Robert Jarvik ldquoLeaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against themrdquo I can relate to that quote and it seems to sum up a benefit of being truly engaged in the arts When the Jamestown Fine Arts Association Board of Directors launched a $15 million dollar renovation and development campaign they didnrsquot let fear dissuade them Given the other major campaigns in town the Board also may not have been aware of the odds against them Nonetheless they led the way into the project and have successfully raised funds transformed buildings and will develop the Arts Park I do know that being engaged in the arts (the process of creating) helps develop leaders Leadership requires making wise and deliberate choicesmdashas does the creation of art Creating requires taking a risk and managing change in the processmdashas does the successful leader Whether choreographing a dance composing music creating a story or laboring over a painting one has to develop a goal assess the project and wisely choose how to move it forward As we move into 2012 I imagine that the Arts Center staff and the JFAA Board of Directors will continue to both lead and create as we imagine possibilities assess project(s) and successfully engage Jamestown in the arts
