REGINE BASHA: THE MONEY QUESTION
Art & Society Census Working Group
April 3, 10, 17, 24/ Saturdays at 4 pm
Working groups are free, facilitated courses, meeting once per week online for the month of April. Register for this first event and you are registered for the entire course.For questions or to get on a waiting list once registration is closed, please email cfisher@bklynlibrary.org.
We’ve received the first wave of responses from the Art & Society Census, a project dedicated to hearing about what you desire from arts and culture. We’ve invited experienced Facilitators to lead virtual public working groups, focusing on specific issues based on popular interest.
For the first two weeks, this working group topic is THE MONEY QUESTION. The second two weeks will focus on Visioning, imagining the kinds of arts experiences and spaces we want.
A public event in June with leaders from the arts & culture field will share the results of these discussions.
The Money Question
What are the ways in which art and culture gets supported in the US? How do artists get paid and what are some new ways cultural organizations might sustain their work? Are there other, free ways to access art ? Other ways to support art and artists? Can art be more like a gift, a conversation, a mental health need, rather than a commodity, and how?
