Femme in the Field: The Importance of Artmaking in Community
About this Event
What does it mean to make art with, for, and within a community?
The discussion will look at how artists build meaningful connections through their practice, what strong community engagement can look like, and how grantmaking agencies like the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities support artists working beyond traditional studio and gallery settings.
Moderated by:
Patience Rowe — Grants Management Specialist, DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities
