2017 TACA Perforum - Cross Sector Collaboration

---

Cross-Sector Collaboration:

Intersections Between Arts Organizations

and the Broader Arts Ecology

---

There is no discipline that nurtures the ability to imagine, sparks creativity and innovation and stimulates action more than arts and culture. So it should come as no surprise that many artists and arts organizations are joining together with social, health, education and other sectors in creative intersections to advance shared goals in their communities.

This year’s TACA Perforum will examine instances of these partnerships happening across the nation and why they are important. There will also be an opportunity to discuss ways in which we can fuel further successful collaborations in North Texas.
