Weaving a Web of Opportunities to Support Individual Artists in your Community

Tuesday, October 14, 3:00pm – 5:30pm

Organized and moderated by Heather Pontonio, Program Officer, Art, Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.

Presented by Regina Agu, Artist, Elder Street Artist Lofts; Elizabeth Dunbar, Executive Director, Diverseworks; and Jenni Rebecca Stephenson, Executive Director, Fresh Arts.

Most organizations do not have the capacity to provide all the resources that individual artists need to thrive. However, by pooling together opportunities in your community, it is possible to link artists to the resources that help them thrive. Utilizing the experiences of Diverseworks, this off-site session will explore the opportunities they are providing to artists in Houston. This interactive conversation will discuss best practices, challenges, lessons learned, unexpected outcomes, and ideas-in-progress. This off-site session will be held at Diverseworks.
