This bilingual community roundtable will address a variety of issues. How does your organization care for its members, and the community it works with and for? What role does the arts play as an agent of care? How can organizations work together to form networks of care? How can we advocate for arts in our challenging times as needed for care? What problems do you face, and how might we be able to help each other in addressing them?
Participants will include:
- Eric Fillion (International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation, University of Guelph), moderator
