outside of their field of expertise? Though we all have the deepest

efforts, we all know that being a non expert with an opinion is another
thing. Today, this landscape is changing, as artists through the United
Nations Arts Initiative [1] are bringing the worlds top experts to the stage,
providing access to peer reviewed materials and analysis for strategic planning,
project development and conflict resolution. It's called focused on "The
Bottom Line."
