This paper explores the relationship between leadership, specifically transformational leadership practices and art. Looking to models of leadership that support connectedness and place value in the actualization of self and organization holds promise for living and working in a time of crises of human affairs, and for a new millennium. Artful leadership is suggested as a process that may result in the creation of deliberate, aesthetic and dynamic spaces (physical, visual, psychological, interpersonal, cyber) for teaching, learning and leading. Art spaces, such as museums, as well as art language and concepts are looked to as metaphors for understanding how art may be infused into educational settings and leadership practices.
