Event Details
Join us to explore alternative models in which artists and creatives drive change to create paradigm shifts in economic, social, labor and creative models!
The Center for Cultural Innovation is welcoming you to a one-day convening for artists, students, grantees, funders, allies, and interested systems changemakers.
This immersive experience will share stories from world-builders across the United States who, through shared efforts and collectivization, are prioritizing community flourishing and self-determination. Participants will connect with actions they can take today and tomorrow to bring about our better-together future.
