This Symposium is a part of Cara Mia Theatre’s 5th Annual Latinidades Theatre Festival. Designed to support arts organizations and independent artists, the Symposium explored how our arts can thrive during turbulent times, with emphasis on local community engagement and intercultural community building. Topics include audience building, collaborations, community as a campus, working with your city government, and how funders can partner with artists and arts organizations. The Symposium is an opportunity for every participant to learn and teach.

Virginia Grise, Wendy Shenefelt, and Vicki Meek set the tone and ask: How does our art sustain us? How does our art nourish our beloved communities and our social movements? What community-driven strategies can we implement to thrive and not just survive? And if we know the roadblocks, what are some solutions that push past them? This session ends with all attendees setting intentions for the days ahead and a performance from poet Lyrique Jaye.
8:45 a.m.-10 a.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC -7) / 10:45 a.m.-12 p.m. CDT (Dallas, UTC -5) / 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. (New York, UTC -4)
As we bid farewell, we considered the next steps toward realizing our artistic aspirations with and within our communities. Clyde Valentin, co-artistic director and members of the team from of Arts for Every Body, connects the four corners of Arts for Every Body’s praxis: Artistic Practice + Community Participation + Cross-Sector Collaboration + Health with the broader themes explored and discussed during our time together. Part presentation, part workshop, part lab—we closed our time together with focus and inspiration moving forward. Our discussion helps us draw a map of our next steps on our path towards Sustaining the Arts through Community Building.
