What’s Next? Creativity in the Age of Entertainment is an exploration of our creative environment today viewed through the lens of Grammy Award-winner Jan Karlin's multi-faceted career. She focuses on creativity as the background of the arts, innovation and culture, and the inspiration it provides throughout our society. The challenges observed in our cultural and work environments — confused definitions, the disappearance of arts education and media coverage, misguided and struggling arts organizations, poor education for work and life skills — are all a result of living in the Age of Entertainment.
Description

Ms. Karlin shares her experiences with creative people and artistic projects, demonstrating how inspiration and imagination coexist across various disciplines.

Examples of innovative ideas that led to Grammy Awards and international projects provide a background of program and leadership development. Ms. Karlin illustrates her views about the future of arts education and the music business through successful programs around the country.
