Announcing GIA’s 2022 Racial Equity Workshop Series
It’s a new year, and we brought a new round of Racial Equity in Arts Funding Workshops! This year, we will continue to offer these online to maximize ability of our full field to participate. We are also eager to offer these workshops online as the nation increasingly wakes up to how long we’ve tolerated the dehumanization and murder of Black and Indigenous peoples and other people of color and begins to wrestle with who we want to become.
Each workshop is delivered as 4 three-hour modules and will be offered in February, March, and in July 2022. We encourage you to be swift in your choosing, since the first time these workshops were offered online, they sold out within hours of being announced. Full details, timings, and registration for each workshop series are available here.
