Lisa Funderburke, ACA President and CEO, and Chiwoniso “Chi” Kaitano, Executive Director of MacDowell, invite you to an intimate conversation with arts leaders to discuss what it means to inherit the legacy of an institution; steward conditions of care for artists, arts workers and community; and the power of artist residencies to create pathways for transformation.

How can artist residencies and arts organizations create more inclusive and fair spaces by centering universal access*? How can we more intentionally place LGBTQ2IA+ artists, BIPOC artists, parent artists, caretaker artists, and d/Deaf and disabled artists at the center of what we do? In this two-day workshop, you will learn how to identify and overcome barriers to accessibility in various forms.
