The artistic experiences an organization creates reflect both its creative vision and the leadership that helps bring that vision to life.

ACG’s Josyanne Roche was onsite in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, supporting the Executive Director search for the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum. During her visit, the Museum was also presenting A LASTING IMPRESSION and Paul Kremer + Stephanie H.

Last month, Nagham Wehbe attended the 2026 Association of California Symphony Orchestras Annual Conference in Santa Rosa, California, joining orchestra professionals and leaders from across California for three days of learning, connection, and conversation.

Conversations like these help inform how we support arts and culture organizations as they navigate leadership transitions, strengthen organizational strategy, build sustainable operations, and plan for the future. We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with colleagues across the field and exchange ideas about the challenges and opportunities shaping orchestras today.
