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 will focus on WHERE ART AND LIFE MEET.  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. 

Where Art and Life Meet 

Key questions: How does art help us encounter our world? What is the relationship between cultural experiences and our everyday lives? How do we find both reflections of our lived realities, as well as joy and the unexpected within cultural spaces? How should cultural spaces cultivate this multiplicity of experiences?
