Cultural Advocacy & Policy in NYC: A Forum

The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center presented Cultural Advocacy & Policy in NYC: A Forum livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Monday 2 May at 3:30 p.m. PDT (Los Angeles) / 5:30 p.m. CDT (Chicago) / 6:30 p.m. EDT (New York). On Twitter use #HowlRound. 

Change is on the horizon for New York City’s cultural landscape. Cultural advocacy and policy are central to this momentum. Cultural policy—inclusive of but not limited to public policy—broadly encompasses rules, decisions, and practices that affect cultural producers, workers, and participants. It can include modifying recruitment and hiring practices to diversify the field, advocating for the preservation of culture in neighborhood planning, or using creative strategies to promote civic engagement and social justice. This forum among arts and cultural advocates will introduce sample projects, explore how they intersect with cultural advocacy and policy, and welcome feedback and new ideas from participants.  

This event is co-presented by the New York City Cultural Agenda Fund/The New York Community Trust.
