Art for Change Discussion & Panel
December 8th, 7 – 9:30 pm
Asian American Arts Alliance, 20 Jay Street, Suite 740, Dumbo, Brooklyn 11201
In the wake of the last election, how can we, as artists and arts professionals, empower ourselves? API leaders from New York City arts organizations will discuss the changing political and social climate and what they think art has the power to do and can do in the coming months. This convening will create a space for the community to gather and collectively brainstorm how to harness artists’ power to change and mediate the discourse in society. The hour-long panel discussion will be followed by a facilitated breakout session with attendees and a share out.
