Join us on Thursday, August 5 from 5-6:15 p.m. for Community Conversation: Readiness and Resilience. Moderated by artist and educator June T. Sanders, this panel discussion will be guided by the question “What does readiness and resilience mean to you in your art practice and community?” During this conversation, artists from across Washington State will speak to a range of topics, including being ready for unexpected change, building resilience through building community, and how the current pandemic and racial injustices has shifted our thinking around readiness and resiliency.
This program is presented in partnership with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and CERF+.
