So on one side you have a world that is rapidly becoming diverse, colliding with art forms that are traditionally slow to change.

But when I see an arts organization that is clinging to their existing audience, only occasionally dipping their toe into the waters of other cultures … I don’t get mad at them.

I sort of feel sorry for them.

They are trying to ignore gravity.

They can’t.

And on some level I think they know that.

But I also believe that some organizations would rather die then change.

So instead of getting angry at these organizations, I think we should let them choose their fate and live with the consequences of their actions.

If an arts organization actively wants to embrace the diverse and interesting world we live in, then all of us should support and assist in making that happen.

But if they don’t … for whatever semi-valid reason they have … then we should let them jump out the building and let gravity do the rest.
