David Shields, Author of Reality Hunger: A Manifesto

Keynote

Creative thinking is central to innovations and breakthroughs achieved in fields that extend beyond the arts. Through the lens of the key focal points of public life, we’ll hear how people from different fields approach their work with creative, and even artistic, purpose.

And, we’ll look at merging and emerging forms of artistic expression to see where new frontiers in creative thinking might lead. Learn more about Our Creative Society’s keynote with David Shields.
