Join us at Northwest African American Museum on 8/28 for the fourth and final in a series of community discussions to help shape the City's vision for the future of our creative economy. This month’s topic is Advancing Equity in the Arts – Real Talk!
Lived experience and recent research confirms that people of color in Seattle’s arts and creative ecosystem do not have adequate resources or opportunities to participate in the creative economy equitably and on their own terms. This needs to change. What can we – the City, the creative community, each of us individually – do to mitigate racial disparities in the creative economy?
Our guest speakers will discuss issues of access and representation, leadership, and organizational culture. After the speaker portion, attendees will break out into small groups for networking and to give feedback about how the city can grow, support, and retain creatives while minimizing disparities and inequity.
This event is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome. Refreshments will be provided and adult beverages will be available for purchase for guests 21+.
