| | ARTISTS NEEDED! WORKSHOP SERIES STARTS Thurs. Sept 17, 6pm
Please participate in our three-part progressive workshop series, "Collective Action Against Racism and Inequity" for all members of CAFC. These working sessions will progress from guided reflection and goal-setting, to planning groups, to meaningful individual action. The workshops will interweave with a separate series of three public conversations, conducted by Valeria and Andrea Lopez, launching Tues. Sept. 15, 6-7:30pm with the conversation, “Race, Power and Privilege in the Arts.”
The workshops are working sessions designed for our member artists, organizations, their staff and board members, who commit to undertake specific action against racism and inequity. The working sessions are organized in three “progressions” (see details on registration page) supported by peer collaboration, additional resources, and consulting support. The Cultural Alliance seeks members who are ready to commit to participate by registering for the first working session on Thursday, September 17, 6pm, two-days after the first public conversation.
Session facilitators will include Valeria and Andrea Lopez, John Cusano, and other guests. Register on this page for the first workshop. You will be sent the Zoom registration link for the first meeting and we will remind you of the second meeting.
Participation will involve personal reflection, mutual learning, peer and professional support, and the achievement of specific, self-determined action that measurably eliminates the pervasive racism and inequities in our personal and organizational lives and activities.
Registration is available separately for the conversations and the workshops. Please sign up today: |
