One State Together in the Arts isn’t your ordinary conference. Rather than lots of plenaries and concurrent sessions, One State has about a dozen presentations — one keynote and several 20-minute talks. Our presenters are all dynamic, electrifying, and inspiring storytellers. Thank you to our 2015 One State Presenters:
