About this Event

Can arts be more than just leisure, hobbies, or entertainment? What are the intrinsic benefits of arts that all of us can enjoy even if/when we aren't "artists"? At a time when the world sees increasing division across race, ethnicity, class, gender, and ideology, the Cultural Understanding through the Arts (CUTA) workshop provides a space where we can find a common ground through arts and cultural activities.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Come for an adventure where you will be guided through the various steps of exploring your and others' cultural heritage and discussing the subjects of arts and culture. With simple exercises and engaging conversations, every participant at CUTA will gain a refreshing perspective of how they can be a (more active) patron of the arts while building a deeper understanding across various cultures.

Be open to sharing and listening. You will be given some useful tips on the "how-to", and no one can decide "how to" use them except you.

No previous background, training, or experience in the arts is required. In fact, CUTA welcomes and embraces different levels of and perspectives on how to enjoy arts and cultural activities. At CUTA, everyone's lived experience is equally respected, and we will explore as much as possible within just one hour!

Co-presented with , a nonprofit organization with a mission to create and curate professional performing and visual arts in Inwood and its surrounding community, the CUTA workshop will be an opportunity where art lovers and art makers regardless of their backgrounds and disciplines can find ways to building a deeper understanding for one another through the arts.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is required.

*Rain date is Sunday, October 24 at 2pm.
