In addition to the beauty, energy and inspiration culture-makers contribute to their communities, we are, more and more, being recognized and engaged as creative collaborators around problem-solving, coalition building and public engagement in civic areas that include health, housing, planning and sustainability. Join artist and educator Michael Rohd for an in-person workshop that explores: how artists and collaborators can translate creative skills into process tools and accessible language; how to build and support cross-sector partnerships across the life of a project from relationship-building through ideation to implementation; how to expand ideas of what arts, culture and creativity can look like when aimed at equitable, community-designed outcomes; how to research and advocate for funding and employment as artists in non-arts settings.

The workshop will include participatory activity, case-studies, guests, shared resources and generative dialogue. Friday through Sunday, we will work from 9am-4pm with a lunch break and post session Q & A each day.

Fee is $200 if being paid for by an organization or school.

$150 if being paid for by an individual.
