NATIONAL:
Report: Millennials are less likely to support arts, culture
Millennials are less likely to support arts and culture than any other cause, according to the Frey Chair for Family Foundations and Philanthropy and 21/64. Instead, millennials tend to support education, basic-needs groups, animal welfare, environmental issues and civil rights. As a result, groups like ArtsFund are turning to crowdfunding platforms to raise money.

Did you miss the New Tour Conference last September? (Providence, RI)

The number of available digital place-based tours, including both smartphone apps and mobile websites, grows every day as historical societies, libraries, museums, independent artist-designers and entrepreneurs publish tours of historic or cultural sites, public art, "lost" landscapes, entire cities and more.
Meanwhile, the old-fashioned docent- or citizen-led tour is not only still alive and well, but is undergoing its own renaissance. What are the challenges and opportunities associated with designing and implementing place-based tours - and where is this field headed?
