Advancing Creatives: Checking In and Looking Forward
Tuesday, December 8, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
VENUE: Online, via Zoom
FREE, registration required
We are living through uncertain and unprecedented circumstances. How can we as a collective creative sector respond to the uncertainty with a collective vision for 2021 and beyond? This event is an opportunity to hear from some of Denver’s cultural leaders on what they see and hope for the future of our arts community. Specifically, how an expansive creative sector will rebuild more equitably and address the gaps in the systems that the pandemic exposed. Together, we’ll share opportunities, issues, resources and aspirations to build a vision for our creative future.
Panelists:
Tya Alisa Anthony, Interdisciplinary Artist, Curator, and Executive Director and Founder of Mahogany Vu Contemporary Art
Stephen Brackett, The Flobots; Co-Founder and Director of Special Programs, Youth on Record; and Colorado Music Ambassador
Lares Feliciano, Interdisciplinary Artist, Educator, and Art Grants Manager at RedLine
Ryan Foo, Co-Founder and Producer, Black Actors Guild and We Are Denver
