SUPPORTING INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS |
|||||||
|
Americans for the Arts is pleased to share the release of the Supporting Individual Artists Toolkits! Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we band together to educate ourselves and one another on how we can best support artists to thrive in their careers. This toolkit was developed from the synthesis of knowledge from leaders in the field, and is meant to provide an overview of current needs that artists face and potential action steps for administrators. The information provided specifically discusses dancers, musicians, literary artists, teaching artists, LGBTQ artists, and artists of color.
Visit the new Supporting Individual Artists Page on ArtsU to access the toolkit, read blogs on supporting individual artists, and view upcoming and on-demand webinars and coffee chats.

Nonprofit HR’s REALITIES webinar series topics cover everything from workforce development, recruitment, talent attraction and recruitment, workplace culture, and beyond. Each session will be addressed through the lens of race and will incorporate facets of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging practices in talent management.
The Winters Group hosts complimentary public virtual learning labs to engage in conversations that are pressing and relevant to the workplace, but often times avoided.

READING:
To increase the number of people of color leading nonprofits, the sector needs a new narrative about the problem and new strategies to address it. Nonprofits have to transfer the responsibility for the racial leadership gap from those who are targeted by it (aspiring leaders of color), to those governing organizations.
Using inclusive language reminds us that the feelings and experiences generated by the arts unite us all. This curated list of inclusive-language resources offers state arts agencies guidance on: choosing language that includes rather than excludes; choosing language that acknowledges, accepts and celebrates differences; and choosing language that is welcoming to everyone.
Join the movement and help lead the change to disrupt invisibility and toxic stereotypes that fuel bias and racism against Native peoples. IllumiNative’s toolkits are designed to empower Native advocates and allies to start the conversation in your community, school, and/or institution about the importance of accurate and contemporary representation of Native peoples and inclusion of Native voices.
