Brief description
A workshop for local arts organization who don't yet know that they want to engage in political and advocacy activities.
Detailed description
When you’ve got a show to put on or a business to run – or both - it’s hard to find the time required to advocate for the things you believe in. And isn’t it someone else’s job, anyway? Well, more or more, we are learning that it isn’t someone else’s job: if the change we want is going to come about, it’ll happen because we took the time to engage meaningfully in the political process, and to bring others along with us. During this highly interactive session, you’ll get:
• A lightning-fast set of perspectives and predictions on federal and provincial arts and culture policy;
• An analysis of opportunities for the arts and culture sector;
• A suggested framework for analysis and action;
• Tips on where to look for the facts and arguments that bolster your case;
• The opportunity to develop your own framework – with the support and encouragement of your colleagues in the room.
