How many times have you watched a member of the arts and entertainment industry take on a controversial issue, only to get torn apart for speaking outside of their field of expertise? Though we all have the deepest appreciation for our artists who contribute to fundraising and advocacy efforts, we all know that being a non expert with an opinion is another thing. Today, this landscape is changing, as artists through the United Nations Arts Initiative [1] are bringing the worlds top experts to the stage, providing access to peer reviewed materials and analysis for strategic planning, project development and conflict resolution. It's called focused on "The Bottom Line."
