As we reemerge and rebuild from the pandemic, local and state arts leaders are examining and questioning their work and policies. The year ahead presents the opportunity and necessity for change as the arts and culture sector grapples with a legacy of inequity, organizations explore ways to bolster digital capacity, and we expand funding for the creative economic recovery. Join us at the 2021 Annual Convention and hear from field leaders championing this work.

The pandemic has forced almost everyone to recalibrate the fundamentals, including how to share physical or place-based artwork digitally. It raises the important question: how can and should public and private philanthropic partners support building digital capacity for cultural organizations that deliver sustainably- and equitably-produced content?
