Sensory literacy: Brian Kennedy at TEDxToledo

Brian Kennedy is the ninth director of the Toledo Museum of Art. He came to the Museum with extensive experience in senior leadership positions at art museums in Ireland, Australia and the United States.

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)
