Join in the conversation on future-oriented exploration put on by Mass Culture, on behalf of a group of arts service organizations. They hope to facilitate conversations that will lead to better lives for artists and arts workers, and greater access to arts experiences for all, and greater equity for under-represented marginalized voices.
Solution Pathway is a series of online sessions born from the results of a crowdsourcing campaign that occurred last spring. These sessions will intentionally give space for the arts community to come together and think through positive, and potentially transformative, ways forward.
Five statements have been shaped into topics for discussion that will navigates those who have signed up through well designed and facilitated outcome-based discussion:
How might we develop a shared plan for inclusion?
How might we demonstrate the arts’ value through evidence to reveal the human side?
How might we continue to build the infrastructure and knowledge bases needed to meaningfully work with different communities?
How might we support artists from getting lost in the digital world?
How might we assist in the permanence and present nature of the arts?
Those who serve the arts sector are invited to take part in an online Solution Pathway from October 22 until January 2023.
Concepts from these discussions will be more deeply explored during a two-day in-person conference hosted in Toronto and online in following the January 2023 sessions.
