ICYMI: How Artists Can Lead a Pandemic Recovery
“Change is an act of creation, and that’s what artists do: Through a process of imagining, trying and building, artists create experiences that connect us to our own agency and power,” said author Laura Zabel who serves as the executive director of Springboard for the Arts. “We are in a moment when we urgently need these artists, culture bearers and creative workers who can help us envision and build a future of justice, health and wholeness.”
Zabel focuses on two of four recommendations from The American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Commission on the Arts report, Art is Work. “The report includes four primary recommendations that provide a roadmap for the policy changes we need to become a nation that values our cultural sector and benefits from the innovation and imagination of our creative people.”
