Center for Performance and Civic Practice (CPCP) is a national resource for artists and communities working together for arts-based, community-led transformation. CPCP believes that with the right approach, the same tools and capacities that artists use to make art can be utilized to transform systems and improve the impacts of government and community-driven efforts and programs. In this session, CPCP will lead participants through a dynamic process to define equity within the context of cultural work, the challenges in regard to achieving it, and the tools needed for building it. The session will center attendee participation and discussion in small breakout rooms and together as a large group. Attendance for this session will be limited to 50 participants.
