A convening on the economic recession and the impact on the Bay Area arts community.
As a community and as individual arts organizations and artists, we have all begun to feel the impact of a troubled economy. How it will play out remains a question. Rather than wait for this financial impact to crescendo and then react individually, we can work collectively to build a consensus that will help guide our decision-making in the months ahead.
Please join us for a presentation and conversation with Jeremy Nowak, PhD, followed by a series of group discussions focusing on strategies for building partnerships and addressing the economic downturn as a community.
Monday, Jan. 12, from 3 to 6 p.m. (doors open at 2:30 p.m.), at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 701 Mission St., SF. RSVP by Friday
