Next week EMS Artistic Director Gus Denhard will attend the Western Arts Alliance 2023 Conference (WAA), an annual gathering of performing arts professionals, including performers showcasing their work, artists representatives, concert presenting organizations, and more. The conference takes place right here in Seattle! Gus will have a chance to network with others in the field, learn about the changing environment the arts operate in, and collaborate with other professionals on tours and artistic projects. Of special interest this year is a pre-conference focus, Advancing Asian American, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian Voices in the Performing Arts, featuring a tour of Seattle’s historic International District.
