Breakfast Club: Community Engagement
Arts and culture plays a significant role in building vibrant places to live. It has the power to bring individuals together, strengthen communities and elevate lives. As arts organizations, how can we build stronger, more sustainable relationships with our community members and stakeholders? How can cultural organizations engage with other non-profits and civic groups to address community needs?
Join us for the first Breakfast Club of the season as we explore these critical issues through three selected readings:
- Community-Based Arts Organizations: A New Center of Gravity, by Ron Chew
- What the Arts Can Learn from the Jersey Tomato, by Leonardo Vasquez
- 3 keys to sustainable arts-based community and economic development. Part 2: Collaboration, by Leonardo Vasquez
As practitioners you know the value of community-based arts initiatives. This session will provide an opportunity to discuss ways to deepen community engagement and shift perceptions so that arts and culture are viewed as vital investments to strengthen and grow neighborhoods and towns throughout the region.
All Breakfast Club attendees are asked to read the readings in advance of the session and to come prepared to discuss them. A link to download the readings will be included in your event registration confirmation.
Breakfast Clubs are supported by The Wallace Foundation and The Philadelphia Foundation and are a program of the Cultural Alliance’s research and marketing initiative Engage 2020. Engage 2020 is sponsored by a lead grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts, with additional support from The Wallace Foundation and The Philadelphia Foundation.
