As you well know, 20UNDER40 is a grassroots effort that has had an incredible global impact on the conversation around the impending generational shift in arts leadership. When frustrated young arts professionals argued that they didn't have a voice in the field, 20UNDER40 didn't waste its time applying for nonprofit status or chasing funders for whatever pennies they had to offer, it simply created a platform, made some noise, and asked young leaders what they had to say.

To this date, 20UNDER40 still maintains that independent spirit, but it's just about time that the anthology, which has now become a movement, looks to its constituency for their support.

Pre-ordering a copy of 20UNDER40 now is the best way to advance the work of the project and the movement to foster the next generation of arts leaders it represents. When you pre-order a copy of the anthology, not only are you saving $10 off the cover price, but you are also helping 20UNDER40 raise the important funds it will need to publicize this project, develop interactive online and in-person platforms to discuss the anthology's content, and all around work towards giving voice not just to the authors represented within the anthology—but for a vast array of young arts leaders throughout the country and around the globe.

Please don't wait. We need your support. Pre-order your copy today.
