The Asian American Arts Alliance (A4) invites you to participate in our March Town Hall: Performing Arts x Advocacy.

The performing arts sector has been hit hard due to the pandemic. With its reliance on the magic of live in-person performances, collaborations, stage set-ups, and rehearsals, about 45%* of performing artists have been shut out of work with many more losing the resources required to create new work. They must reimagine new avenues of producing and performing traditional in-person productions.

We invite dancers, musicians, theater artists, producers, stage designers, and more to join us in hearing from featured presenters who are leading grassroots advocacy on behalf of performing artists. And, pitch projects, find new opportunities, and/or learn from each other during this extraordinary time.

We'll spotlight your pitches during the Town Hall rapid-fire line-up of 60-second pitches. Each pitch is 60 seconds long, though we are happy to make accommodations as needed!

After the pitches and presentations, stick around for some virtual networking and conversation in Zoom breakout rooms with fellow attendees. Instead of our usual potluck, we’re asking participants to share a resource that fits into the topics of this event. It can be a quote, a funding campaign, a social media post, a book, a song, or anything.

You don’t need to pitch to attend—RSVP to enjoy the presentations, idea exchange, and the virtual company of fellow artists and organizers!

This event is FREE and open to the public. RSVP is required to pitch and/or attend. We’ll send the Zoom meeting link to all registered attendees.
