The Arts and Culture Canvas: 2020
A series of town hall conversations on the transformative powers of arts and culture.
We will cover various issues, hear from artists, educators, and innovators. Hear their stimulating and inspiring stories, learn about organizations and projects. Share ideas and possibilities.
