CIVIC PRACTICE SYMPOSIUM: Reimagining Community Futures Through Arts & Philanthropy
How can creative people in place-based communities catalyze economic change, bridge divisions, and foster meaningful connections between people? How can philanthropic efforts be reoriented toward social weaving, toward participatory democracy, and toward the slow push in communities to integrate and reconnect—to build shared interests and shared purpose in heart and mind?
Join a conversation with local and national voices—from arts, philanthropy, and community development—to discuss expanding practices that can cultivate democratically minded communities that are healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable. Presenters include:
