EVENTS

The Artist-Citizen, Advocating Change
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
6:30-8:30pm

LOCATION: Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts
323 West 39th Street, New York

Panelists: Zeffrey Throwell (Moderator), Steven Lambert, Carin Kuoni, and W.A.G.E.

The role of artists needs to be repositioned as essential to our culture and society. How can artists determine how to maneuver within the existing societal structure to achieve reliable, long lasting support both politically and socially. How can artists realize that individuals can hone power to implement change? What are the resources that artists may utilize to understand the rights and opportunities that already exist? What are some examples of artists who have advocated for more support and have succeeded? What are steps artists can take to achieve greater agency for themselves?
