This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. After logging a 100,000 miles visiting the studios of more than 900 separate artist in search of the most contemporary American Art, Don Bacigalupi and his team have curated perhaps the most comprehensive exhibit of its kind  — this is the state of American art.

Don Bacigalupi, Ph.D., has more than 20 years of comprehensive experience in museum management. Dr. Bacigalupi joined Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art as executive director in 2009, responsible for the planning, organization, construction and inauguration of the museum. Since its opening in November 2011, he has overseen the key areas of professional staffing, governance, collections, exhibitions and education programs. In early 2013, Dr. Bacigalupi was promoted to the newly created office of museum president and board member, charged with advancing the museum’s national and global special initiatives.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
