The RACIAL EQUITY and the ARTS is a 90-minute session led by nationally-known speaker and teacher Janet Brown, Janet Brown & Associates.
The nonprofit arts community is at a crossroads between our belief in equity and the reality of the culture of our institutions and the demographics of our communities. Janet Brown gives an historical perspective of arts policies and practices that created inequities in the arts and provides recommendations of how predominantly white communities and organizations can move forward for positive change. The professional development series is open to Missouri arts agency leaders, board members and volunteers. Feel free to share the link with your boards, commissions and volunteers.
